Plans to start making semi-silent upgrades default in
Mozilla Firefox are underway and ready to become default with Firefox 30, which is expected to be released on June 10th.
On May 10th, a Mozilla engineering manager named Benjamin Smedberg, participated in a discussion where he mentioned that many users were unintentionally stuck on older insecure versions and would have liked to upgrade. Smedberg commented that "about 2% of Firefox profiles are getting "stuck" on older versions in each release cycle, at least back to Firefox 22."
