is FF 44 newer than 46?
I installed a new operating system on one laptop, it came with Firefox 44.0.2, in FF's About box I opted to update it, but it says "44.0.2"/"Firefox is up to date"/"You are currently on the default update channel." But my other laptop has Firefox at 46.0. Why is 44.0.2 up-to-date but it's not 46.0? I have 44.0.2 on new PCLinuxOS (2016 KDE4 FullMonty edition) and 46.0 on openSuse Linux 13.2, with FF possibly customized for the latter OS. The two laptops have separate access to the Wi-Fi network. I tried doing a general update to the PCLinuxOS platform but the updater software denied anything needed updating. I'm not surprised if an OS doesn't update an app to the latest version, but this is a case of FF itself saying 44 is the latest when I already have 46. Or is the difference because anything later than 44.0.2 was a fork for openSuse and so 44.0.2 is FF's latest for other distros?

Are you using the Firefox version from the official Mozilla servers or the version from the repositories of your Linux distribution?
Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
You can find the full version of the current Firefox release (46.0.1) in all languages and all operating systems here:
Versions supplied by a Linux distro are updated by said Linux distro so there may be updates in the package manager. You may need to check the repositories sources as maybe it does not have a source for Mozilla updates enabled.
Mozilla does not provide Firefox updates to third-party builds including packages of Firefox provided by Linux distros, only to official builds from mozilla.org
Firefox 44.0.2 is a old version from February 11, 2016 as Firefox 46.0.1 (May 3, 2016) is the current Release for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.
