Re: automatic update not working

It will only notify the user on startup if they didn't have the update 
available when viewing the add-ons manager in order to not notify the 
user repeatedly. Also, there is no option to auto install an extension 
without user consent though that behavior is being reconsidered.

btw: these types of questions are better directed to the 
[email protected] mailing list.
