Bug, or what? FF was outdated but didn't see any updates...?

What language is your Firefox?

I have Firefox installed on a Windows 7 computer and also use FirefoxPortable.

My installed Firefox says it is version 34.0.0 and *IS* up to date.
My Firefox Portable says it is version 34.0.5 and *IS* up to date.

o.0

If 34.0.5 was an important bugfix then surely my installed version would update when I check for a new version?

What I *think* is the difference (that is causing the mix of up-to-date versions) is that the installed Firefox is (I believe) the default Firefox English (US) version, while my PortableApps version is the Firefox English (GB) version.

Why? I don't know (I have some add-ons different between the versions, but add-ons shouldn't be a cause for Firefox to not see a new update version?)

If you are worried and want to update, why not download the latest version of FirefoxPortable and install it over the top of your current FirefoxPortable?

Cautious people would backup (copy the folder?) FirefoxPortable before updating

Good luck

ps: I found the release notes for 34.0.0 and 34.0.5

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/34.0/releasenotes/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/34.0.5/releasenotes/

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the security fixes are the same in both releases. The difference between release notes is in regards to default search engines.

I'm guessing, but I suspect that if a Firefox Language version 34.0.0 doesn't need/get the change in search engines, it doesn't automatically update to 34.0.5.

pps: I just remembered that I manually update (download and install over existing copy) my FirefoxPortable every time there is a new release, so that would explain why my version has been updated to 34.0.5. Because that is the version I downloaded and used to update

pppps: ah-HA!

this blog explains it much better than my ramblings

For the United States (en-US) and Russia (RU) builds, user have the option to changing over to the default search engine upon first run of Firefox 34. For en-US users this is Yahoo and for RU users this is Yandex. Since this change is optional, user who update from an earlier version of Firefox (33.1.x or 33.0.x or older) will be updated to Firefox 34.0.0. Users who download and install a fresh copy of Firefox will have Firefox 34.0.5 which for the en-US and RU builds will have the new Yahoo and Yandex search engines as default.

I hope that helps
