Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
This feature falls under the Experience theme.
Silent Update is comprised of the following 5 components:
1) Firefox updater will go away and install updates in the background in previous session
* Updater will need to change for Windows, Mac and Linux
2) Add-ons compatibility check will include:
* Compatibility checker will default to compatible (Feature page)
3) What's new page will transition to other tools to help inform/educate users on the latest changes within Firefox, possible ideas include:
* Dedicated placement in Firefox Home tab
* Hover panel from top/bottom
OS dialogues
* Win7 UAC (user account control) dialogue
* Mac OS: determine if there are issues for non-admins
About dialogue
* Instead of saying "5.0" we should say "You're running the latest version", "Firefox checked the latest version and it was updated X minutes ago."
* bugzilla 678775
