Running Firefox 5b3 with separate profile.

  1. This morning received Windows system tray notification that update was available.
  2. Did not update from notification.
  3. Went to Help > About Firefox, clicked Check for Updates
    • showed update 17.1 MB available
    • showed "update failed", "get latest" link takes me to Firefox 4.0.1
  4. Checked ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/5.0b5/win32/en-US/
    • folder empty
    • other locale/language folders are populated, just not en-US folder

Is an update available for Firefox 5b5, en-US or not?

Beta 5 has been released, I don't know why the en-US version is not available from the ftp site, but you can get it from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html
