Hello, I have the option of "Install updates automatically" selected. But firefox don´t aske me if I want to update never. For instance I have version 29.0 installed and I know that are a new correction version 29.0.1 but my firefox didn´t notify me. Let me add that older versions didn´t updated automativcally too I had always to updated it manually. I have a took a look on maintance servive and it is active and setup "Manually". What could be happen? I know that I can manually update but it's not what I want. This problem is happen in both of my computers one Windows 7 32 Bits and other one Windows 8 64 Bits. Appreciate you help. Thanks.

Best Regards, Daniel

Hi Daniel, Thank you for your question. At the moment 29.0.1 is a hotfix. I would encourage to update as it fixes many security issues and adds safety to your browsing. This will show you notifications when a hotfix goes out.
