Many software users understand that timely updating of software products guarantees (not 100% of course) productive and safe operation of not only themselves, but the operating system as a whole. To install updates in a timely manner, you need to find out the current version of the program, which is not difficult at all.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are faced with a question about what version of your browser is, then most likely you do not have the automatic update option installed. Of course, there may be other reasons here, but within the framework of this article it would be advisable to also touch upon the issue of configuring updates for both the browser and the plugins used automatically.
Step 2
Start by checking the current version of the Mozilla Firefox browser. To do this, you need to launch your browser and go to the "Help" menu item. In the context menu that opens, select the "About Firefox" item, after clicking on which you will see a window with information about the current version of your browser.
Step 3
Pay attention to the "Check for Updates" button in the information window. When you click on this button, the current version of the browser is checked and the latest at the moment on the official website. If a newer version appears on the site, you will be warned about this and given the opportunity to update the version.
Step 4
If you do not want to bother yourself with periodic checks of the relevance of your browser, then configure the updates automatically. To do this, go to the menu item "Tools" - "Options" and in the window that appears, select the item "Advanced".
Step 5
Next, go to the "Updates" tab. On this tab, by setting the necessary checkboxes, you can independently determine which browser components will be automatically updated when a new assembly appears.
Step 6
When installing automatic updates for all browser components, it is worth remembering that updates for plugins and extensions for Firefox may lag behind the schedule of the new version of the browser. Therefore, if after the next update of the engine of your Internet browser some plugins stopped working, visit the website https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ - and check the information about your extension
