I have about five installations of Firefox on different machines. I have been notfied of the latest update, Firefox 1.0.2, on all of the installations over the last week. I think that this is a little odd, surely checks for updates are made more regularly than this? Perhaps Mozilla purposely stagger the update of clients so as not to overload their servers - could this be a sign of their browser’s success causing them problems?

I have also just updated the Web Developer Toolbar extension for Firefox to version 0.9.3 after reading an article over at Sitepoint. The developer comments on Mozilla’s slow response time to processing new updates for extensions. I would have to agree seeing as the in-browser extension engine reports no updates available for this extension even though I was running version 0.8!
