In the latest implemetnation of Firefox trunks the 'Check for updates' button
that was present in the Preferences > Advanced > Update page is missing.  It
might be by design as the Help menu has got the 'check for updates...' item
under it.  Also the extensions/themes panes have got thier own Find updates. 
But it would have been useful to have a single place for all the updates i.e.
putting back the 'Check for updates' button.

That was done on purpose. See bug 305994 and bug 302273.
