We will never "force" an update on anyone in terms of installing it even 
if a user set preferences to not install anything automatically. Not 
respecting such a preference would violate what Mozilla stand for (and 
possibly even some laws) and we would never ever do that. Let's make 
this completely clear.

What we usually mean when we talk about "forcing" updates is to install 
them silently for everyone who has automatic updates without any prompts 
activated. I guess the word "force" is somewhat wrong for this.

We will always install updates only if the user has not deactivated 
updates and not enabled prompts for every update, regardless of what 
kind of updates that are.
