Is FF planning on coming out with a auto-upgrade system?
Previously there were two types of releases: "minor" releases which were installed automatically because they contained security fixes, and "major" releases which prompted the user to choose first.
Now there will be no more "major" or "minor" releases. All new releases will be installed automatically, though I believe there is an exception if any extensions are broken by a new release. (EDIT: I mean, if any extensions that you already have installed will be disabled by the update.)
he means silent.
As in, Chrome must be closed, and restarted.
Gosh, wish I had noticed that during the edit window.
Are you talking about extensions that I already have installed or any extension on AMO that might not work with the new version?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH.
...
Mind if I ask how you guys arrive at decisions like this one? We provide IT support services to individuals & businesses in three counties; automatic updates are, by far, not their favorite thing.
...actually, scratch that, nevermind. We have a new product coming out in six months and I think you just helped us sell it. Big time.
