They might hit bug 600500. If you disabled automatic update, or have the 
"ask me what I want to do" pref set, the about dialog presents a "Check 
for Updates" button. But clicking that button really means "Check for 
Updates, and automatically download install them without further asking".

The about dialog should check for updates automatically, but not install 
them if the pref "Ask me what I want to do" is set.
