"If you use your Linux distribution's packaged version of Firefox, you will need wait for an updated package to be released to its package repository" I don't exactly know what that means..

If you are using the version of Firefox that came with your Linux installation, updates are handled through the Update Manager in "System".

If you installed Firefox yourself with a separate download from Mozilla, the Help > Check for Updates menu item appears and is active so you can do manual updates.
