Every time there is a new version Firefox cannot see it and I'm forced to apply the update manually.

(BTW, update to Firefox 24 which comes out tomorrow)

Do you get a specific error message when Firefox won't update?

There's no error. I go to 'Help', then 'About Firefox', then 'Check for updates' and it says 'Checking for updates', then 'Firefox is up to date'.
