When I go to my firefox Start page, a note says my Firefox Browser version needs to be updated..I have downloaded LATEST Version several times. When I go to "About Firefox", it says I am up-to-date. What's wrong ?? Thanks, Bob

Nothing is wrong.

The 8.0 to 8.01 patch is not being served to Windows and Linux users, only Mac OSX. The 8.0.1 is for to fix a Java crash issue on Mac OSX. On Windows it is only really needed if one uses Roboform 7.6.1 or older and gets crashes upon Firefox startup.
