The quote came from Conjectures and Refutations, pg 309. I agree that it doesn't say what falenas108 claims. Plus a bit has been missed out at the end: " -- though only tentatively." Also, on the following page, Popper says:

Of course, in reality, fallibilism just means you don't look for certainty. You can and should look for more probable theories, or as P. calls them, "better theories".
