Bad security problems in both Firefox and Chrome.
Firefox seems to do a great job of downloading the updates automagically. You can tell if you need the update, but going to the "Help -> About Firefox" menu. If you have a version before 7.0, 6.0, or 3.6.23 (Linux), then you should restart the browser. If it's still an older version, go to Mozilla for a new version ("Download now").
Chrome also updates itself pretty automagically. The tool icon (looks like a wrench) has an "About Chrome" option. If you're before 14.9.835.202, you need to update. The Tools -> Update Google Chrome" menu will take care of it - and will tell you if it's already downloaded the update. Nice.
Quite frankly, this is a big reason that I don't like Internet Explorer. IE waits for Patch Tuesday to update, instead of updating on the fly.

Thanks for the notice. I'm in my Windoze 7 partition for now and was running Firefox 5
Thinking about ditching Ubuntu and just going back to Windoze. Everything is written for Windoze because every thing is written for Windoze. I know, oldest story there is.
I believe that Chrome version is 14.0, not 14.9, but other than that, what you said. Normally I wouldn't bother to say anything, but I don't want people looking for something that isn't there.
