I missed the part where you wanted it to prompt the user before installing – 
for that, choose ‘check for updates’ under Options -> Advanced -> Update 
instead of ‘automatically install updates.’

That’s actually Firefox’s default behavior.  If it’s not doing that, go to 
Options -> Advanced -> Update and select “Automatically install updates.”

The only difference from Chrome’s default behavior is that Firefox only does 
the check the first time it’s launched each day. I don’t think Mozilla’s ever 
released more than one update in a 24-hour time period, though, so it shouldn’t 
be needed more often than that.

Subject: [Mozilla Enterprise] Firefox AutoUpdate ???

Hey Mozilla community,

Is there a way to trigger Firefox self-check for updates upon start a bit like 
chrome?

Basically right now my users go to about to check for updates, but unless the 
user does that no update is applied to the browser.

The  behaviour I’m looking for is that the browser will check for updates and 
then warn the user that the software client needs to restart in order to apply 
the changes.

Any relevant clue would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
