RE: Why can't Firefox and Thunderbird find their own updates?

[Bénoni MARTIN <Benoni.MARTIN () libertis ga>]

Huh, I have to correct you. As I am lazy (no comment :) ) and since I use Firefox 1.4, I have always updraded from 1.x 
to 1.(x+1) just clicking on the "Update" buton in the tool's bar. And each time, it proposed me to upgrade to release 
1.(x+1) without any trouble. So it seems to me the "update option" works for this kind of updates.

My undestanding is that this feature is is only for minor updates / security fixes to Firefox and any installed plugins 
(e.g. Netcraft toolbar). It just prompted me to update to a new revisionof Netcraft toolbar.

However this feature does not currently support upgrading to a major revision.

Please correct if I am wrong.
