|Feature overview=This feature falls under the <b>Experience</b> theme.
Silent Update is comprised of the following 5 6 components:
<b>1) Firefox updater will go away and install updates in the background ([https://wiki.mozilla.org/Silent_Update_updater feature page]):</b>
* Updater will need to change for Windows, Mac and Linux
<b>2) Add-ons compatibility check will include ([https://wiki.mozilla.org/Features/Add-ons/Add-ons_Default_to_Compatible feature page]):</b>
* Compatibility checker will default to compatible
<b>3) What's new page will transition to other tools to help inform/educate users, possible ideas include ([https://wiki.mozilla.org/Silent_Update_whatsnew feature page]):</b>
* Dedicated placement in Firefox Home tab* Hover panel from from somewhere on the page* Brainstorm with UX/Marketing
<b>4) OS dialogues ([https://wiki.mozilla.org/OS_Dialogs feature page]):</b>
* Win7 UAC (user account control) dialogue* Mac OS: determine if there are issues for non-admins
<b>5) About dialogue</b>
* Move away from version numbers* "You're running the latest version", "Firefox checked the latest version and it was updated X minutes ago."
* [https://https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678775 bugzilla 678775]
<b>6) Update the add-on compatibility check prompt ([place holder feature page]):</b>
*In conjunction with component 2), for add-ons that are invalid we will update the dialog to allow users to "not now" or "remind me later" when the silent update process encounters an unsupported add-on.
