JudasIscariot: Hey, I was wrong when I wrote that as I've rechecked everything and the Chat notification will have messages from your friends and random persons that message you if you have Chat set to "Allow conversations with anyone" in your Privacy settings.

My apologies for unintentionally misleading you, it was rather late...

In short, messages from your friends and random persons will show up as a number by the Chat menu item under Account.
Thanks for clearing this up.

moonshineshadow: We'll look into this issue if it persists in the final release version of Firefox 38. As far as I can tell, this version isn't
I love this part , the version 38.0 is official , it's the version avaible directly from the mozilla frontpage for their browser.... erm now we will need to use an ESR version ? :P

moonshineshadow: So I got an official response:
Hello,

We'll look into this issue if it persists in the final release version of Firefox 38. As far as I can tell, this version isn't an official update yet.
I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

Best regards

moonshineshadow: So we are stuck for the moment, I would propose not updating your Firefox if you are still below version 38.
Oops, missed this earlier (no notification, yeah!). Thanks for the heads up, I haven't updated, was waiting to see what happens.
The reply is kind of puzzling - this is the official final release of Firefox 38.0, no?

I thought so too since it is the version which gets installed directly from the Mozilla mainpage.

it's the final release yes, but there were lots of change , so i suppose ihis is reason of some issues...

i never use a RC or a beta version anyway.. i don't understand the support answer there..

edit : ah got it : if you try to check for an update in the browser , the 38.0 isn't offered, ....i think that's the support meant to say.

Emm... so, if the browser doesn't offer the update it's not an official release, in spite it being the latest stable version available for download from the Mozilla site... I guess there's some logic somewhere in this that I fail to understand.

I also just notice that GOG support said "if it persists" - did it resolve by itself for anyone?

I'm finding all this very confusing. I always update Firefox through the browser and it updated to 38.0 this week. AFAIK this way you only get the final release versions, so I don't get what's going on...

PS: I'm not experiencing this problem myself. Of the extensions mentioned above I only have Adblock Plus.

I believe GOG does not think it is the official release because they did not get a notification flag for it.

sometimes some versions ain't offered if you only check the browser

but considering the latest release introduce a DRM by default , you need to download a seperate installer to not have this one activated , so that's could be the reason why the latest version isn't offered when you only check if it's up to date.

In Judas words - they should contact GOG Support and submit a ticket.

Mozilla staggers their update roll-outs to limit load on their CDN. That's why some people got the update and some haven't.
Posted May 14, 2015
So, I wrote again after the last message regarding that Firefox 38 is the official version from the Mozilla frontpage and here the answer:
Hello,

I got the impression that this is still a preview version, especially considering that it's not avaiable via auto-update. I will report this bug to our webdevs in a moment.

Best regards,
So hopefully they can find the bug :-)

Shmacky-McNuts: A nice idea would be to get the customer base involved instead of asking a handful of people before making big changes to the one thing that makes the company money. The site.
They never do that and they barely admit mistakes. Well, only if hundreds of people complain but even then they try to not admit it. I got used to it. (sad, I know)
I actually spend most of my time here in the forums because that's the only thing they haven't fucked up yet and we know the forums are pretty bad already. (broken search, flawed reputation system and more) I wish they were openly listening to feedback BEFORE and AFTER changes too. Especially without all their crappy PR talk.
