Why won't Firefox 12 update to the latest version?

I noticed when I was about to download an add-on it said it wasn't compatible with the version I am currently using, which is twelve. When I realized that 12 wasn't the latest version. Because I haven't gotten any messages telling me there was an update I tried to manually update Firefox by selecting "help" in the menu and clicking "About Firefox". Unfortunately for me it said 12 was the latest version. How do I update Firefox to the latest version (which i believe is 14.1) if this continues?

Download and install Firefox 14.0.1. No need to uninstall your current version, just install 14.0.1 over it.

Download and save the Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.
