Existing users, 
I've always liked being able to update Firefox by going under the Help menu and having the program itself check for and make any updates.
Doing that doesn't seem to be showing that there are ANY updates available even though vs. 2 is now up. Does this feature ONLY work between versions on the same level--only within version 1.x.
If I don't update it this way, do I just download the file and replace the old application with the new application. Will all of my profiles, passwords, bookmarks, extensions,etc., carry over into the new version?

"check for updates" under help menu of Firefox - jss
Getting a newer version by using the "Check for updates..." feature accomplishes the same thing as just downloading a new copy of the application. Functionally, there is no difference. As far as your themes, extensions, etc. associating with the updated version, that isn't a problem. However, you might find that some of your favorite add-ons have not yet been updated for compatibility with 2.0. Once you start 2.0, be sure to use the Tools menu to check for updates to your add-ons.Tuesday, October 24 2006 @ 08:38 PM PDT

If you download the update, and replace your older version with it, all your bookmarks etc. are still there for you. They are stored in another place., and are accessed by the new version.HTH
