Having followed the diversion on the gridwatch thread, I thought I would
check if my Firefox was up to date.

I am on Firefox 10 and the Help-About Firefox says I am up to date.

However if I go to http://www.google.co.uk/firefox it tells me I am not on
the latest version and gives a link to an upgrade page.
Of course, if I follow the link it then tells me I am up to date.

Someone somewhere is being economical with the truth.

Cheers

Yes, Google (com and co.uk) does the same thing to me. I'm sure Google
will fix it soon; I'm wondering if their detection code hasn't been
updated yet, so when faced with a version it doesn't know about it
defaults to coughing up the warning.

It happened the other way for me. It said I was up to date but I wasn't.

I reckon that's the answer, it says the same about 11.0a2 not being "the
latest version" as well

Version 10.x is the current stable version and if you're updating on the
release channel, that's the latest you'll see.

Version 11 is currently in beta test, so won't show up on the updates
unless you're on that update channel. The latest version available for
download on the test channel is the alpha test version of 13.

You really should update, if only for the bug fixes and better security.
It costs nothing, and I've found no problems just letting it do its
thing, unlike Thunderbird, where the interface has changed almost beyond
recognition and has broken a lot of stuff I rely on.

Bug fixes?

I suspect that version n of most software has more bugs than version n-1.
