For info automatic updates to 3.6.14 have been turned off due to a regression involving many Java applets not working, and a bug concerning an increase in the number of crashes with 3.6.14. Mozilla are working on quick release of 3.6.15 to fix these regressions. They already have a version with the bug fixes and it is undergoing testing to confirm the fixes work prior to release.
