The funny thing is that from a Linux user's perspective, Google was simply providing a workaround for what should have been the OS's job. On Linux, Firefox's auto-updates are disabled so that the OS can handle that instead.
This is probably the best solution, as it gives you the most control over updates, and applies to all software system-wide. You're not forced to install updates at any time, and you can disable the notifications if you want.
- dman 16y agoThe update popup for extensions is still annoying though - even on linux.
- w1ntermute 16y agoLike I said, you can disable that.
- cookiecaper 16y agoMany distributions' version of Firefox comes with that disabled out of the box.
- mtklein 16y agoAnd last I looked, that's how Chrome/Linux works too, at least on Ubuntu. When you download and install the deb, it'll set up apt sources so you get updates through the system.
