Description of problem: There used to be a button in Preferences -> Advanced that would allow checking for updates to Fx and installed extensions. That button has been removed. As a result, one must check for updates to extensions manually and one at a time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Fx. 2. Select Preferences -> Advanced. 3. Look for Check for Updates checkbox and Check Now button (or whatever the wording was). Actual results: Checkbox and button aren't there. Expected results: Checkcox and button are there. Additional info:
This functionality was never working in Fedora's firefox. Checking for updates for Firefox itself is useless because we provide our own binary package which may or may not match the "version" of the upstream firefox depending on if we decide to patch rather than upgrade in the future. You want Bug #136080 where themes and extensions are allowed to auto-update but not the browser itself. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 136080 ***
