Help -> About lets you know if there is an update and has an apply update button to start it whenever you like.

  Thanks, but (while that's a sensible answer to the question) it's not quite what I wanted. I would like to be able to download the new version myself. Is it really true that, up until today, it was possible to update from 5.0b7 to 5.0 within the browser itself, but impossible to download 5.0 directly? If not (i.e., if it is possible to download 5.0 directly), then I must have been looking in the wrong places; where should I look?

    I'm pretty sure there were no releases between 5.0b7 and 5.0 final, so I'm not sure why Firefox was prompting you to update. But in any case, you can download any release manually from ftp://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
