Been using Firefox since March and am pleased with your product. I am in the
business and am perplexed at the update mechanism. You provide the facility to
check for updates under the Tools menu. I use it periodically even though the icon 
in the upper right hand corner does not indicate any. However, I also consult
other sites and noticed for the second time that there is a revision. That is,
was running version 1.0.3 and saw a download for 1.0.4 on another site. Same
thing this time with 1.0.5. How are we supposed to know that there are updates
if you do not acknowledge when we inquire?

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
You probably don't need this suggestion but if you indicated through the icon on
the browser window or even acknowledged when we inquire through the Tools menu,
we'd be up to date.

This bug will be resolved by the new update system for Firefox 1.5.  Marking WFM.
