As Firefox is usually set-up for automatic updates and downloads, people shouldn't have to worry about updating manually.

Tools > Options > Advanced, make sure check for updates is enabled.

And Help -> Check for Update will get often get a new update, in the brief period before it is offered automatically.

Very true!

I'm hanging back on the Firefox 3 update for the moment because my bank (Nationwide) is still checking it out for compatibility with their website.

Suggest to them that they perform a digital extraction - it's been out for long enough for them to have 'checked it out' by now...

I bank with Nationwide and have no problems at all since upgrading to Version 3.

And even if you do have problems. You can always use FF3 for normal browsing and download the old version of Firefox as a Portable App (from PortableApps.com - legacy/p;d version are listed towards the bottom of the page.) for your banking. It is designed to be used from a USB stick and extracts to it's own folder. The only limit is that you can't have both version running at the same time.

RBS always take ages aceepting new version and this is how I get round it.
