If you are using the Firefox browser at the moment, it is Help –> Check for Updates. It just takes a few moments to update your security.

Speaking of Firefox v3, since “upgrading” from v2 I have had more crashes than ever before.
Don’t you just love it when a new version of something comes out and the damn thing breaks stuff that used to work?

1fastbullet - I have found that too. Another annoying thing is that some extensions still do not work on the new version. I think there should be a way of pre-viewing which add-ons will not work in the upgrade. It would be a factor for me in considering whether to go to the new version.
