In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Exploit code chases two Firefox flaws, Poser wrote:

Because Firefox has no auto-update function, there are lots of people still using older versions. This security problem will be real if the Microsoft hating virus writers divert their hate for a few seconds.

Of course, that will not happen.

FireFox DOES auto-update ... if/when a little red circle with an up-arrow appears on the right-hand end the menu bar, just give it a single click. Couldn't be easier ...

You are describing something I have never seen. Are you running Linux?

How do I know which version I'm using?
I never get popups with Firefox. But I do have trouble using Cookies on it. Sometimes I want to accept something but I had at another time denied its cookie. Firefox could be easier with this. I use Cookie Pal for IE and it's easy to wipe up after.
I have more complaints about Gmail (can't edit anymore and can't link anymore).
