The prompt was kinda fast and I thought I’ve missed it, but browsing thru the Help –>Apply Updates Now tab applied the update, restarted Firefox and took me to Mozillas homepage. However, since the update previously offerred was v3.0.2, I was prompted again the update to the ”latest and greatest version”, which in this case, is v3.0.3.
