Install an extension update now

Sval waits 7 days before it installs an extension update it finds. An extension can change hands, or start doing harm through an update. The wait gives Mozilla time to find a harmful update and turn it off before it reaches you. You can install a waiting update at once.

A fix you’ve been waiting for is in an extension update that Sval is holding.

Steps

1. Open Settings › Extensions.
2. Under Installed, select the extension’s name.
3. In the Update waiting row, select Update now.

If the update asks for new permissions, Sval asks you first.

Details

• The Update waiting row shows the new version and the date it installs on its own.
• The wait counts from the day this device first found the update.

If something goes wrong

• Sval couldn’t install the update. Try again later. The update didn’t download or install. Select Update now again later.
