I know some of you may think it foolish, but I tend to trust software I've used for sometime update itself. Yesterday morning I received a "security update" from Firefox and allowed it to install. I bit later I noticed that the green button for my Trusteer Rapport software had disappeared from toolbar - the software was still running but not checking anything. Going to the Trusteer website I see that Firefox 5 was only going to be supported by the end of this month - but I thought I still had Firefox 4. NO! The security update was in fact an update to Firefox 5 (see below).
Anyone know why there has been such a rapid version change and why it was called a security update?

But basically Mozilla have just move the decimal point so instead of going from Firefox 4.0 to 4.1 they have gone from 4 to 5.!

It means that Trusteer report needs an upgrade to work - Kaspersky has the same problem (note I disabled Firebug as I don't use it normally)
It will sort itself out eventually when a new version is released

Thanks for the pointers to further info.
I read elsewhere that this is a new tactic by Firefox too rapidly reach a version number higher than 9 - for some reason
