I believe the latest version is 48.0.2 but I have 47.0.1 and it says up-to-date and doesn't give option to update. Not had this problem in the past. I opt for Firefox to notify me of updates but not auto install. I have done it this way regularly in the past. Do I have to download and reinstall the new version on top of what I have.

I think the updates to 48.0.2 (48.0.2 is for Windows users) were turned off again due to some crash issues.

firefox IT should notify of problems with their platforms, and not have us have to dig for answers
