Thanks for reporting. I must admit I'm not sure what you mean by "auto is set", is this some Firefox setting?
However, new versions of Firefox should be available along with any other updates to installed packages in Ubuntu. Could you please check in update-manager (or look for "Software updates" in dash) whether a new Firefox version is available there. Based on the report information you seem to be running Ubuntu 16.04, so it should offer you Firefox 52 (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox) ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1681735 Title: Auto Update Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I want to update to Firefox 51 but should this happen automatically if auto is set?
