F12 updated FF to version 3.5.15, however, when you start up FF on F12 it tells you that FF 3.5 is out of date and you should instead download version 3.6.
If FF 3.5 is out of date why continue to update it? Why not replace it with version 3.6?

Since Fedora 12 is EOL in one month perhaps that would be more work than can be justified?
You could update your system to Fedora 13. Or wait until next week and update to Fedora 14.

Well why don't you??? /me I'm using Firefox-4.0-b8pre this last 2 months in F12 and its very very fast :-) Security comes straight from mozilla & before any repo esp, now the crazy updates policy is in force. Don't know how! just ask here.

Updating your whole OS just for a browser is hilarious when the source is available :-)

Hey Dex, In the updates you receive, does Mozilla provide an RPM, or is it a tarball? (I figure it's installed automatically, but curious none the less.)

Just a little comment, you can install the Firefox beta tarball in a private directory and keep the Fedora Firefox in place, just in case you're leary of the "beta" status. These betas are very stable on my system.

This is Firefox's built-in update check and it's Mozilla trying to get you to download the newer release. Seeing as this is Linux and the updates are handled by the package manager, perhaps these checks should be turned off by default?

It's not the latest product, but it's not out of date - it's still supported by Mozilla and in fact security update 3.5.15 was just released.

Ahh, well there you go :-) Not sure why Paolo got that update warning then, maybe there's a different setting for major versions, or maybe it's his profile.

In my case firefox had crashed prior to doing the upgrade. When it started up it asked me whether I wanted to restore my previous tabs, or start a new session, and it was at this point that the warning appeared.
