Waterfox Current 2020.07.2.1 (64-bit)
PC, Windows 7 64-bit

Already two new version got released by now, according to the blog, but still if I open Help>About Waterfox it says that it's up to date.
So now I'll have to only update manually?

Hmm very strange, the update URL points to the newest release.

Could you do me a favour? Before going to Help > About Waterfox, launch the browser console (Ctrl+Shift+J). Then open Help > About Waterfox. After, in the search bar of the console type AUS. Then right click > select all and paste the output here. Should look similar to this:

I did better. I just cleared the console before doing these tests.

And I found out some weird errors appearing there the moment I opened this github page we're currently on.

So you might wanna look into that as well.

And here is the screenshot with all those erros, including AUS ones:

Oh, and this is also my update settings:

@MrAlex94
Ah, I just noticed, in my screenshot above, my update variables are pointing to the same version I have currently, instead of pointing to the newest ones.

Maybe that's because I had to manually install version 2020.07.2.1 after having issues with 2020.07.2 ?

Ah that was the problem - I misread the version number. Have added the update XML to that version now :-)

Alright :)

Here's that link: https://www.waterfox.net/update/Waterfox/2020.07.2.1/aurora/WINNT/update.xml

For now it has no proper code though.

@MrAlex94

So... I'm not sure what you meant by saying that you "added the update XML to that version now".

Because it still says for me that my browser is up to date, and the link for my version 2020.07.2.1 has no content.

Is it planned to be fixed, or my only chance to update is to go for manual downloading and installing of the new version?

It'll be there with the new update today :-)

Should be available now

Hi, how come every update needs download manually?
after click help and shows Restart to update Waterfox.
BUT actually can not update automatically. it happens more than one time when need an update.
