Sorry about that. Didn't realize there was more. Character limits won't allow me to post the whole thing, so here's another chunk.

Okay, I think there's been a slight misunderstanding. I never once assumed that version 48.0.2 was not the most current. Here's what happened. Around the time I had posted this thread, I had checked my Firefox browser to see what version it was on, and it was on version 47.0.1.

I decided to check if there was a new update so I clicked on the Check For Updates button and after a few seconds it said Firefox was Up-To-Date.

I wanted to make absolutely sure so I Googled Firefox version history and found that version 48.0.2 was out so I went ahead and downloaded the new version and manually updated.

The same thing is going to happen when version 49 rolls out. The auto-update is not gonna see it and instead tell me that version 48.0.2 is the most up to date version.
