===Background updates===
Here is a proposal for how background updates will be implemented. Please note that the parts in ''italics'' explain what currently happens, and those parts are not changed under this proposal. They are only mentioned here for completeness.
* ''The process will start by Firefox checking for an update in the foreground or background.''* ''Once an update is found ''** ''If the user needs to prompted for some reason, we show that prompt at the normal time. (e.g, on idle). If the user declines, we bail out. ''** ''Otherwise, we go ahead and download the update (as a complete/partial MAR file). ''
* Once the download is finished, Firefox launches the updater binary in the background with the UI display disabled. Searching for new updates will be paused during this time.
** The target of the update will be known <code>FIREFOX_NEW</code> from now on.
