Steps to reproduce:

On mac, to check for updates, a user needs to go to "Firefox" on the top toolbar, then "About".

Actual results:

This is very unintuitive, and discourages users from updating.
Even if automatic updates are enabled, the user might feel like checking himself for updates.

Expected results:

I believe there should be a "check for updates" button below the "About" button in the "Firefox" dropdown, or somewhere else. A dedicated update button.

Hi Jesse, thank you for your suggestion. I'll mark this Enhancement as New for visibility.

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Component: Untriaged → Menus
Ever confirmed: true

I still think this is a good idea... just a little ping after 4 years :)
