Not seeing updates, should I be?

Not seeing updates, should I be?

I'm on

115.0a1
Build ID 20230601093525


And seemingly there have been later updates (like), http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3110199.


But (manually checking) for updates, says I'm up to date?

Anyone else?


I use policies.json:

Code: Select all

{
  "policies": {
    "DisableAppUpdate": false,
    "ManualAppUpdateOnly": true
  }
}

Since 116 nightlies will begin June 5, I've temporarily disabled Firefox nightly updates for Windows 7/8/8.1. Next week we'll update Balrog again to pin nightly for Windows 7/8/8.1 to the latest 115 nightly build.
