There was a firefighting TFR in the vicinity of Colfax; CA that had been in effect [for several days]. The western edge of the TFR was just off the eastern end of runway 25 at AUN; necessitating landing on runway 7; even though the winds favored 25. I confirmed the TFR was still in effect using a ground-based PC prior to takeoff. In the air; however; it wasn't visible on my MFD even though other TFRs in the area were; (the MFD uses XM satellite weather as its TFR data source). I contacted FSS in the air and they confirmed the TFR was still in effect; though we didn't discuss the precise boundaries. As I approached AUN I monitored traffic on the CTAF and everyone was using 25. When I asked about the TFR I was told it had moved far enough away from 25 to allow its use. Because of this; and because other traffic was using 25; I chose to land on 25. Because I couldn't see the TFR; though; it's possible I briefly penetrated it while on my base and final approach legs.
SR22 pilot believes he may have entered a firefighting TFR while on base and final for Runway 25 at AUN. The existence of the TFR was confirmed with FSS but the TFR would not display on the aircraft MFD.
