No, that's the problem. That's how I have it set. However, WITH those settings, I can't find out what version I'm going to get before a version is downloaded, AND If I download it, it gives me an apply button--still without telling me anything about the version. If I don't press that button, then the next time Firefox runs, it "don't ask me nuttin'", it just installs the updates. The thing is not just annoying, it's broken.
