You obviously already know that you can always run Firefox as an Admin and update. The problem with that is your standard user profile will still think there's an update to apply even when Firefox is completely up-to-date. So, it's really more of an annoyance than a problem. I'm just really surprised that the developers haven't fixed this by simply updating the standard user's profile to reflect the update that was just installed via UAC anyway. No other browser that I'm aware of suffers this kind of irritating behavior. Go figure...

This is a serious pain, especially with the new fast-track update concept. I use a limited user account because I want to automate as much of the process of keeping my system secure as possible. I use a computer because I'm trying to do something, not because I want to spend time checking whether all my apps are up to date. Automatic updates are supposed to remove the need to micromanage. If anything, this rapid fire update methodology will end up in me updating less frequently, since what normally gets me to check is an article talking about the newest FF release. Why doesn't FF automatically try to get the rights to update itself if it finds that it can not?

Let me add a note to the developers: WE ARE ALL NOT ADMINISTRATORS! Even on our own personal computers. I claim that administrator accounts are for administering, or developing; not using. I wouldn't be an administrator for longer than is necessary than walk down the centre of a highway with my eyes closed. I'll repeat: Mozilla really should prevent the 'Update' button showing to an ordinary user if it's not going to be possible to use it.
