can't see where security patches aren't being handled properly, just that features are a/b tested for crashes. then again their wiki still thinks aurora exists so who knows what's happening

Did you try running the installer? I was on 54, ran the installer, and it updated me to 55 just fine. I used the download link from this page which seems to just link you to a regular stub installer: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version

Did so, I'm still on 54, still no update available. So that installer only works if your system has already been 'selected' to be in the next group to get an update.

I searched for why Firefox wasn't updating to 55 and it looks like all updates were stopped for a while due to a bug: No pages are rendered / Shutdownhang crashes with aetpkss1.dll PKCS#11 module in Firefox 55

I had the same issue where I was on 54 and the about page wouldn't show any updates. I downloaded the full installer for 55 and it installed fine. It updated itself to 55.0.1 just fine today.

Windows 10 machine. I had the 32-bit version (Firefox 54) installed in "Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox". The installer which I downloaded from the official website installed 64-bit Firefox 55 in "Program Files/Mozilla Firefox", without telling me. It also did not uninstall or overwrite the 32-bit version. The Firefox shortcut on the desktop was updated to start the new 64-bit installation, however the pinned shortcut on my taskbar was NOT updated and still pointed at the Firefox 54 version. I have now uninstalled the 32-bit version and now everything is okay. But that was a rather confusing thing. E: Also apparently you cannot run 32-bit and 64-bit simultanously. If you start one and then try to start the other, it just opens a new windows of the version you got already running. Carbon dioxide fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Aug 12, 2017 |

Android - on Nexus/Pixel, at least - recently figured out that it would be good to let manual update checks bypass the staged rollouts since determined people were just going to get it another way more complicated way, maybe Firefox will be nice enough to do that too... I was annoyed at having to hit the website and download the (no visible sign of a version number, run it blindly) stub installer the day the update came out too. I think Mozilla took down/are taking down the ftp site, so didn't try that route. Incidentally, I don't know what happened in the last year but Chrome's resource utilization has blown up making it unusable on machines that it formerly on ran just fine. (So I switched to Firefox on those work PCs after returning from an extended parental leave.)

Also gently caress the web.

Carbon dioxide posted:Okay, after a double check I found it DID install the 55 version but an additional 'bug' happened. Exactly what happened to me - I ran the installer and it installed the 64-bit version, didn't touch the 32-bit version, didn't change the pinned version, but also didn't make the 64-bit version the new "default web browser" so depending on how you launched it, you'd either get Firefox 54 or Firefox 55. And while I find A/B testing goddamned infuriating as a user I do understand why it gets done. But seriously - A/B testing security updates?! What the gently caress?!! Either backport the security updates to the older version or do the same A/B testing done for Electrolysis where it either was enabled or not but you still got updates. Not giving people an update with five critical security updates and lying to them and saying they're "up to date" if they check the About box - just - what the gently caress?!

still haven't seen any evidence that security updates are being "a/b tested" but rather just that 55 was too buggy and they're holding off until 55.0.2 is out (55.0.1 was already out)
