Until today.
What occurred today is something which I did not expect on a Linux system: Firefox *UPGRADED* *ITSELF* to version 62.0b17.
As I did in the past to download the latest version of FF, I clicked on HELP and when the box-menu appeared there was the message, normally seen on a Windows installation, "Restart Firefox to <something>' and the version number showing was 62.0b17.
This can only happen if FF has write permission on the directory you installed it. For example, if you install it under your {HOME}, or a system directory and you run it as root. Or some other combination that gives it permission. Check the permissions. However, you may wish this behaviour. I would. This doesn't happen normally on openSUSE because the feature is disabled by the packager, I guess. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
