According to the release notes, Firefox 47.0.1 was released on June 28. I only found out about it yesterday (half a month later), when I happened to run the FileHippo Update Checker.

After seeing the new Firefox version reported by FileHippo, I looked at Firefox’s ‘About Firefox’ dialog, and it offered to upgrade to version 47.0.1. I went ahead, and I’m now running 47.0.1.

Why is Mozilla no longer announcing new versions of Firefox? If their goal is to make updates invisible to users, why didn’t my version of Firefox update to the new version automatically?

For what it’s worth, Firefox 47.0.1 appears to fix one obscure crashing problem.
