1. Are they moving to a seamless upgrade system like Chrome? 2. If not, will it be auto-update or opt-in update? 3. Are plugin writers going to have to update

  1. Upgrades will be downloaded in the background and installed automatically by default. It's not yet as seamless as Chrome, though it's moving that direction. (For example, a while after the upgrade is downloaded, current versions of Firefox will prompt you to restart, with a dialog which is a bit more intrusive than the tiny "Christmas tree" toolbar icon that Chrome uses.) 2. Updates will be automatic by default. They'll be installed without prompting, unless users disable auto-updating. This is important because, just like Chrome, the updates will include security fixes. 3. Add-ons hosted on addons.mozilla.org will be automatically updated: http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/04/19/add-on-compatibility-rapid-releases/ http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/04/19/add-on-compatibili...
