Peaches Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Firefox 4 offers silent add-on updatesNew add-on manager updates extensions automatically, some sans restart Computerworld - Firefox 4 will automatically update the browser's extensions, a Mozilla interface designer said Sunday. Add-ons, also called "extensions" by Mozilla, will update silently in the background, said Jenny Boriss, a Firefox user experience designer, in a blog post yesterday. Earlier versions of the open-source browser notified users of available add-on updates each time Firefox was launched. Firefox 4 Beta 7, the most recent preview of the browser that's slated to launch in early 2011, includes an option setting for each add-on that lets users switch auto-updating on or off. http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9199978/Firefox_4_offers_silent_add_on_updates Quote Link to post Share on other sites
