Because that's what Chrome does and Google was sucking market share away from Mozilla. The only difference is Chrome silently updates in the background and applies updates when the browser is closed. Firefox still throws up a modal dialog when it's time to update, followed by the breaking of every extension you have because it's not for the new version of Firefox.

Automatic add-on compatibility went in with Firefox 10 and Silent updates will be here in the next few versions. Memshrink and Snappy and making significant progress towards the leaking. Work is being done to make it easier to identify which add-ons are leaking (Firebug is!). I am using Aurora now and Netbeans and my IM client are using more memory than Firefox. Many of the problems from the past are gone now.
