Firefox authomatic updater is not updating from version 48.0.1 to 48.0.2 on my Macbook pro

The version of Firefox that is installed on my Macbook Pro is 48.0.1 and registers as the up to date version. However, when I did a plug check, I received the notice that this version of Firefox has been replaced by version 48.0.2, and when I attempted to download it manually, the message was that it was 'older than the current version'. Should I wait (and hope) that the automatic updater eventually updates to version 48.0.2? or do I manually replace my current version with the latest update? As I'm finding this very confusing, could you advise me on the best/recommended option please? Thank you, Pam

hi PAM, firefox 48.0.2 only contained a windows-specific bug fix so you won't need it on your system and are all-good - please just ignore the notice that is shown on the plugincheck page...
