Hi folks. Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate
With update settings as follows: "Ask me what I want to do" is checked. Firefox, Add-ons, Search Engines checkboxes are all unchecked. If I choose "Check for Updates" from the Help menu, I am not told what the update is and am not given a choice about downloading it. It automatically downloads the update and then gives me an "Apply" button. As far as I can tell, there is no way to find out the version number for the update before downloading or installing it. A button that is labeled "Check for Updates" should do only that--CHECK, not download. I want to know what the version information is for the update BEFORE anything is downloaded, so I can choose whether or not I want it. That's the way Firefox 3.x worked. I've searched Google extensively about this. In fact, I posted a question on the Mozilla forums that has received no responses. I'm thinking there must be an "about:config" option that would restore the 3.x behavior regarding updates. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
