It does to a large part.

The update internally called "5.0.1" is an update that's useful for Mac 
users only, if you're not on a Mac, this is not a version you need to 
care about at all.

The Firefox release coming out today (internally "6.0") is/was in final 
testing before being unleashed to all users. We have multiple stages of 
testing, one last round being between having the versions on the mirror 
network and putting everything live for everyone, just to check that all 
download links, including those of updates, work in their final 
locations, so we don't have surprises when throwing the final switch(es).

I think as of the moment I'm writing this, the update should run when 
you open the "About" window.
