Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Graveyard :: Help Documentation, defect)

Description

[Steffen Wilberg]

Bug 296566 renamed the "Update" button to "Find Updates" in Extension/Theme
Manager. It's mentioned in customization.xhtml.

To install an update, you now have to click the "Update Now" button for the
respective extension:

In fact when you click on "Find Updates" it looks for updates for the selected
extension only. It doesn't check for all extensions like it should.

I also mentioned the prefs for update checking, and removed the screenshots.

>+ this behaviour in the <a href="prefs.xhtml#advanced_update"><em>Update</em>

s/behaviour/behavior/

The spelling you're using there is en-UK, not en-US. ;-)

Other than that, everything looks okay assuming this is actually how it works. 
I don't install themes, and I don't have access to old themes with waiting
updates to test.

Yeah, that's how it works now.

addons.mozilla.org offers previous versions of extensions and themes, e.g.
https://addons.mozilla.org/themes/moreinfo.php?id=166&page=releases
Try e.g. SphereGnome 1.0.9.5.

Checked in, with s/behaviour/behavior/ in both places.
