FAQ

• By clicking on the "i"-Icon, you can see the time of the last successful background update check.
• Firefox Nightly: Replace the minutes with 'xx' because FFUpdater can only access the start time of the build and not the version name of the app update (finish time). The builds always starts at 5:00 and 17:00 and usually takes a few minutes.
• Please reopen FFUpdater after moving it to the internal/external storage.
