Glad to see they've finally moved to silent updates. That's the feature that lost me years ago, and as nice to see it finally make it, I don't think I'm coming back from Chrome.
The problem with the "hey, before we're going to let you use Firefox, we need to download a new version for you. Wait a few minutes" screen is that it stops you dead from being able to do whatever you opened the browser to do. It's jarring enough to make you avoid Firefox for anything except the times when you absolutely need to test something on it.
That means you use it less often, which means that opening it always puts you through that annoying process. Every Single Time you use Firefox.
So over the years, they've trained me that "Firefox == Pain". It'll take them a long time to train me back.
But I applaud them for finally trying.
