    How does a person know if they have the latest version of Mozilla?...I find their web site to be confusing to say the least.

    I have version 1.6a that I recently downloaded...Is it a secure browser?...Are there update patches available like with windows?

    Also, who supports Mozilla?

    help/about mozilla

    You are using an alpha version. 1.5 is the latest stable version, while 1.6b is the latest beta version, aside from the nightly builds.

    It is secure, and there are no update patches available. Bug/security fixes are included in each released version.

    A nightly build is a test build that is generated nightly. These are useful if you like to test or stay on the cutting edge, but they can be unstable or just not work at all... the latest stable version is recommended for most people.
