This is more of a report on a bug (if it counts as one)

You see, I know there's 2 ways to update firefox: 1. You click on Help>About Firefox, and seeing if it says "update to (insert version number here)" 2. Download either the firefox install stub for the newest version from mozilla.org or get the full installer and use that to update

Only problem with method one, is that when I update through that, and I open Revo Uninstaller Pro (and I also rebuilt revo's cache file to make sure it isn't a "revo uninstaller pro" program problem), it doesn't properly reflect the version number of the updated version, for example

Version 38.5> check for update> update to current 40.0.2 version, open revo pro, still says 38.5 version is current version and not 40.0.2; I didn't check windows 10's programs and features window to see if the same problem reflects itself there, but I'm betting it does

if I use method 2, it works then, but I'd like it if (and this is just unless this is a firefox problem) this "bug?" was fixed; I call it a "bug?" because im clueless on what front its belonging to

Revo's uninstaller is a very buggy and useless program. Third-party uninstallers are largely condemned by the tech community. Check to see if Window's Programs and Features shows the correct version (It should) but revo isn't worth worrying about.
