Re: 答复: [nvda] Firefox has updated to 56 and its broken

Another person reported yesterday that the beta is
currently 56. I looked at the release calendar and 56 is not shown for
release as a production version until sometime in September.
To see discussion about how to change the release
channel, see these two forum discussions:
and
I'm not vouching for the information but those are
two places to look. To see more possible sources of information, do a
google search for something like firefox changing update channel or for
something like fox stopping beta updates.
It
appears from the little I've read in the forums,
that since you installed an older version, you have automatically switched to
the standard update channel. Try using the search for updates in the about
dialog or look for an update button in the about dialog. You may not have
to do anything except update the current version.
