What is the latest version of Firefox? I have 15.0.1 and cannot update!
My version of Firefox is 15.0.1 and I cannot update it, every time I got to Firefox Button>Help>About Firefox it has this button under the version number that says "Restart to update" so I click it and everything restarts but nothing actually updates. All it does it restart my browser.
