Mozilla is moving toward this by working on silent background updates (just for Windows users at the moment: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9180272/Mozilla_plans_to_silently_update_Firefox http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9180272/Mozilla_plans...) and by eliminating startup dialogs of all kinds: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/Eradicate_Startup_Dialogs https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/Eradicate_Startup_... They know about the problem and are working to fix it.

Great! I thought I read something about that somewhere. The dialogs were getting out of hand. Now if Apple would borrow a page from Chrome and MSFT to auto-update my OS X and iOS apps...
