VWC Cocoon Plug-in doesn't work for Firefox 18.0. You'll need to remove this plug-in to make firefox work after the update.

it does update automatically only when you go to the ABOUT screen.

If you have a non admin / limited user account you're screwed it won't update
 
Updated mine got a hard Firefox lockup when installing flash from their homepage so did a hard reset.

I used Chiefcrowe link to update flash,went smooth then.


So far all good,early days however 🙂 . .
 
Unfortunately, it still does not update automatically if you are using a limited user account.
You can make it work if you install the program in your user profile folder but that is also less secure.
