Non-Admin users on XP are not being shown the option to trigger an update. The mozilla update service is installed but as normal users aren't able to start the update process it never gets as far as starting it.

When a new update is available a link to the download page is shown in the About box rather than a button to start the update.

That is good. It would be better if that were the case with a standard account on Mac OS. I can no longer trust that button because it will start downloading an update if there is one, even though I disabled Firefox updates completely.

It's not good if you want automatic updates to work...
