Firefox Not Updating?

Hello, Usually when updating Firefox, I would go to Help>About Firefox, and if a download was available, it would download the update and allow me to...well... update.

Upon reading this: https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar, it is my understanding that Firefox 51 was supposed to be released on the 24th. However today (the 26th), when I went to check for updates (going to Help>About Firefox as usual), none downloaded or even came up, which tells me that the update is not available yet.

Why is it not available when the site linked above says it is supposed to be?

Ver 51 had a problem and was recalled. Another update should be out soon.
