I am not sure the version number... but the version that I had found in the Suite seems to have problems downloading plugins, stuff from here, ANYTHING.
It works at times, and others it does not.

You'll find this true when networks are busy - especially on slower flash devices. First time it fails; second or third time it works. This is NOT a bug in the software, just a consequence of sharing the internet with a gazillion other people who want the same resource. I routinely have to try a few times to download a popular add-in for portable firefox.
If software WAITS forever for a download, people claim "Oh, a bug - it hung". If software DOES NOT wait long enough, people claim "Oh, a bug - it failed to download".
What to do? Who to blame?
It is part of modern online life.
