A fresh install is hardly any more trouble than an update, so why not be ahead of the curve? So I downloaded 16.0 and installed it over my 15.0.1. That left me wondering how come I’d heard about 16.0, so I went to the Systems and Languages Firefox download page, also known as the all versions page. So I checked by hand – something I like doing every couple of days, even though it’s not supposed to be necessary – using the About Firefox option.Īccording to Firefox, I was up to date at 15.0.1. I use the Check for updates but let me choose whether to install them option, but Firefox hadn’t said anything to me about 16. Firefox shipped version 16 earlier this week.
