That's all fine and dandy, but that's an update to a new version
of Firefox, not a security update to an existing FF.

Also, I have all three boxes checked for 'Automatically Check
for Updates', with 'Ask me what I want to do checked', and the
last time I saw that updates were available was a week or two
ago, I think.

However, if I go to Help -> Check for Updates, I am told "A
security and stability update for Firefox is available: Firefox
v3.5.11" as I'm currently using 3.5.5.

Guess what....I didn't know there were any updates ready, so he
wasn't telling me things I already knew.

FF 3.6 has been available for at least 2010 and part of 2009.

Don't blame others for your own problems when you run antiquated
applications.

v.3.6 released January 21st, 2010
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6/releasenotes/

Forgive me if I expect that 'automatically check for updates'
would notify me of ALL updates, not just minor updates to
'major' releases...

Isn't that what 'Automatically check for updates' means ?

You need to get a life. It was a security update according to Firefox
when you check for updates. If you don't like my post, don't read it.

I discovered that there is a problem when you run TBird as a Standard
User in Win 7. Not only does it not notify of updates, it doesn't allow
you to update either.
You have to start TBird with the "Run as Admin" function in order to a)
see if there ARE any updates and then b) to actually APPLY those updates.
At least, that's what happened here.

Yes, and guess what, moron, Mozilla products can be run in Windows 7.

Who the fuck do you think you are telling me to get lost when all you
post here are very worn out clichés, animal sex fantasies, profanity,
lies and bluster? YOU should get lost but you're too stupid to realize
how stupid your posts are.
