Firefox Update Signals

Installing software updates to fix security flaws is an important aspect of protecting your PC. Firefox quietly lets you know when a new version is available, although you may never have noticed this. When an update becomes available, Firefox displays a little red icon in its upper-right corner. Simply click the icon to download and install the new version. To ensure that Firefox checks regularly for updates, choose Tools, Options, click Advanced, scroll down to Software Update, expand it, and select Firefox in the list of updates to check for. End by clicking OK.
