[Sorrento]

I'll give Fox a try again, been a while since I used it

fwiw I booted my win10_VM that had waterfox 6.6.5.1 installed, and normally (or in the past) it would immediately see a new update was available, but not today, so I went to waterfox webpage and saw 6.6.6 was available, DL'd and installed it. Skimmed the release history page did not see anything about update not working in 6.6.5.1 or I missed it... __it happens

It is probably being rolled out slowly to ensure there are no issues with the release. I still haven't received it, while UCheck found it needed updates on the same day (yesterday).

My primary browser is Vivaldi, with Firefox as my backup. I'm currently trying Waterfox and prefer it to Firefox, so I might consider replacing it.

The main advantage of using Waterfox instead of Firefox is reducing the chance of burning yourself.
