Hi

In FF5 i found that the "Check for Updates" and "Update Add-ons Automatically" does not work for plugins. I notice in FF6 that a link has appeared "Check to see if your plugins are up to date".

However i've now discovered that in FF6, "Check for Updates", "Find Updates" (from the right-click menu of a particular add-on) and "Update Add-ons Automatically" did not work for extensions either.

Please see here for evidence https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/862250

My question is - is Check for Updates / Update Add-ons automatically intended to work for either plugins or extensions. If so, has the bug been reported, if not, why is it there?

thanks ...

That is because the creator hasn't uploaded that new version yet to the Add-ons site and if he has done that then the extension still needs to be approved before updating will work.
Such unapproved extension usually appear first on the versions page (e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/speed-dial/versions/) waiting for review, but that hasn't happened yet if this case.

Plugins always need to be updated manually by visiting the website or via an alert from the plugin (Java and Shockwave do that)

Thanks, that answers my query for both extensions and plugins.

The new plugin update link that has been added in FF6 is useful, but it is still misleading to have "Check for updates / Update automatically" as an available option when the plugin tab is selected if plugins never update automatically.

I would also suggest that this particular version of Speed Dial needs to be approved and uploaded a little quicker as the extension is completely useless in FF6 without the latest update.
