Update Firefox to the latest release

With the older version of Firefox....3.6.X.....when a security flaw has been detected, a new version is released and you can see the details with what has been fixed with the latest version of 3.6.X

Is it the same with current versions of Firefox.....such as, Firefox 11.0? We disable auto-updates here.

I also notice that there are no longer various language options for downloading...eg. Firefox in french, etc. I am assuming the language selection will be in the installation itself? Thanks.

We are no more supporting Firefox 3.6. And 3.6.28 is the last version of Firefox 3.6 serious, it means no more further update, only chemspill support. You can download your preferred language version from here

Thanks. Appreciate it. I will also download HTML Validator 0.9.5.1 as I understand this version of HTML Validator works with Firefox 11.0? I can se the grayed out wording that it works with version 5.0 to 11* There is an asterisk next to the number 11.....not sure what that indicates.
