"Check for Updates" seems to be confused.

I'm running FF ver. 3.6.23 on WinXP. When I try Help>Check for Updates, it says I have the latest version. I don't even know what the latest version is, but I think it's higher than mine. Any ideas?

The upgrade from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 7.0.1 hasn't been turned on yet, due to problems with the Sync service earlier this month. Maybe this coming Tuesday. Or you can do as the previous helper mentioned, install Firefox 7.0.1 your self.

I wrote this earlier, but did not post it immediately, it still seems relevant.

The latest version is Firefox 7. Firefox 3.6 users were to have been reminded updates to firefox 7 are available, and offered a major upgrade but that was postponed.

Firefox 3.6 is still supported and updates to Firefox 3.6.24 will be released soon.

NOTE

  • when updating Firefox if uninstalling do NOT use the options to remove personal settings, however that is worded, because it will remove profile data, i.e. all bookmarks and passwords etc from all normally installed versions of Firefox.
  • you do not need to uninstall Firefox 3.6, Firefox 7 will install over it and retain your settings. (Users may have some incompatible add-ons though)
