How to check for current updates?

Hi. I've searched many pages for an answer. Is there a way to check for and install the most current updates?

I have a few computers, and last night I received an update on "computer A". So, today I fired up "computer B" and was expecting to get the same No Script update, but it never arrived. So I'd like to go ahead and manually install the most current update, but can't find any link to do this. (The FAQ page does not address this.)

Thanks for your help.

Tools | Add-on Manager - Find Updates (or something close to that), you would expect to find available updates.

You can always manually check & download from here, http://noscript.net/getit.

There is a link to the latest version on the site that therube linked as well as at the top of the forum, you also have two RSS feeds you can monitor as well. If the update is not being applied automatically, it could be that the profiles are on different timed scheduled to check for updates, mere coincidence based on when installed, you can force it by going to the tools|addons and then click on extension and click on find updates, this will force a check. Now if the recent version hasn't been posted to AMO yet, you can get it directly or give it a day.

I wouldn't think you would need to search for updates....mine seems to update daily, requiring me to reload FF in the middle of doing something...

Great add-on, however. Best I have seen for a browser. The updates are just very frequent. Given a choice, however, I would update 10x a day to keep this functionality and recommend it to all my clients.

... or automate it with, e.g. Update Scanner.

Thanks to everyone for your replies. Now I can check for updates at any time instead of waiting for the automatic updates.

Thanks again.
