firefox update not offered for windows 7
Hello... I love your browser and have it running on all my machines! I currently use it on my FreeBSD rig, my Windows 7 and Windows 8 rigs too. I always make sure to check for updates every few days because I know how important keeping internet-facing programs up to date is. This concerns Firefox 19 for Windows 7. I was able to update Firefox for Windows 8 to version 19.0.1.4805, I was doing some work in Windows 7 but Firefox did not update (it says its up to date). I was wondering if this was a glitch or if I have been given a fake copy from a unknown source (I also noticed Firefox is still version 19 on your download website). Thank you for your prompt attention in this matter.
