Filter Updates only sporadic

Each day I accent to checking for updates. I get a message that there are none. Today I got a response that there were 7 filter updates. I went to Tools, Filter updates which resulted in 2 filters being displayed in the window.

I then went to this website to check on the other 5 filters. Low an behold, I have been downloading new filters for the last 7 or 8 hours, one at a time.

Is it me, or is there a problem with the program. Is there no automatic filter update anymore?

Hi Bella,

I did download the 2 filters, but don't know what happened to the other 5.

I just went to Tools>Filter Updates and there are no filters for me.

Sorry about the terminology error. The "automatic checking" was really the built in Library browser that is now obsolete. It was great!!! You could click on "Download more filters" and new filters automatically downloaded into the FF program. Now, I have to go to the website and search for what is new, then download each new one separately. That is a major pain. As I said, I spent 7-8 hours today downloading new filters. It never took that long with the built in browser. It was fast. I'm not using the built in browser because it is obsolete and not recommended. Why did that change?

Yes, I know the difference between updates and new filters, I just go senile every once in a while when I try to explain something.
