Thanks, let us know when the release notes are out. I'm going to wait to see if the automatic update works this time.

I still have not seen the automatic background updater work yet. I am expecting it to update silently even if I am logged in as an non admin account.
Has anyone seen that happen?

Mine just update this morning. Can't say if the Flash 11.3 issues are resolved. I am staying on the 11.2.202.235 version of Flash for now as that does work properly.

Also Java just did an update to V 7 Update 5

So, I have been waiting for mine to auto update (win7) but I may have encountered a bug. Please let me know if anyone has seen this on their systems -

I was on v. 13 and have been waiting to see how the new auto updater service works. I usually log in as a limited user account. Yesterday while i had it open, an alert came up saying that 13.0.1 was out. I thought that it would be installed in the background but I went ahead and asked it to download and install. The update worked fine but then when I look in the about firefox it has a button for Apply Update. Nothing happens when you do that, but it's strange.. why would that button be there when I am at the current version?

Chief, the Apply Update button shows after you've already restarted the browser and shows version 13.0.1? I know the Apply Update button shows for me when a new update is found/downloaded (I have my update set to manual) but after that it's "Check for Updates". Sounds like it could be a bug....

Click to expand...

I guess the auto update feature doesn't work for x.0.1 versions :(
