This just popped up on my screen. If you’re a Firefox user and haven’t seen it yet, I’m sure you will sometime over the next few days. Details about the update can be found on the Firefox Web site.
What I particularly liked about this is that I wasn’t asked, it just upgraded me. Then again, I trust the Mozilla foundation so I guess that’s why I’m o.k. with it. When it comes to Microsoft updates, I want full notification in advance of even downloading anything.
Update: I just checked and there’s a setting to have Firefox with automatically download & install or to notify you. I belive the automatic option is the default since I don’t recall ever changing it. You can find this setting under Tools|Options|Advanced|Update.
