It updates at least every day, seems like sometimes twice a day, but I may be loosing track of when I deferred the restart - you get the option of restart now or later. Over at least 6 months, I have had 2 instances of it not wanting to start on reboot. I just download and install the latest version on the Mozilla site. I use a separate partition for the apps I use mostly - I multi boot and /home is mounted noexec. If that sounds like to advanced there is the beta option as well. -- Keith Bainbridge keithrbau@gmail.com 0447 667468
