[Ubuntu-BD] very simple query

[Saad M Niamatullah]

Firefox 3.5 is totally different from Firefox 3.0. Firefox 3.0 will
not auto-update to Firefox 3.5. Firefox 3.0 will only update to
Firefox 3.0.1, 3.0.2, etc. Firefox 3.5 will only update to Firefox
3.5.1, 3.5.2, etc. There are two ways to update firefox. When you
download the file from www.getfirefox.com, there is an option in
Edit->Preferences->Advanced, in the "Update" tab, where Firefox will
update itself. This is similiar to Windows.

But if Firefox has been installed from the repos, then it cannot
auto-update itself, but can only be updated through the normal Update
Manager or Synaptic or apt-get upgrade, etc...
