Go figure. I've been running 1.0 at home and at work since release. I just decided to upgrade to 1.0.5 last Friday. Then they release 1.0.6. Go figure....

I ran 1.0.6 over my existing 1.0.5 and no issues.

normally when there's an upgrade the little icon on top right tells you, now when i even click on firefox updates it wont tell me about it, is it because its not "critical"?

Wonder why my FF isn't showing me the little Update icon thingie. Can I tell it to manually go look for an update somehow? I can tlel it to look for extension updates but how do I do the browser update?

EDIT: N/M found how to make it manually check under Options/Advanced but it doesn't find anything and I'm still on 1.04.

please get over yourself and your IE fetish. people will share information pertinent to others and it occasionally will be posted in a more widely viewed forum. if you have something to announce about IE7 and its upgrades, you can feel free to post it here too. it won't bother me, and you'll still have fanboys stating otherwise, but you'll do a big favor to the IE community by sharing it in OT.

They've made the banner significantly smaller since version 8 :p
