Firefox: silent updates and a reset button


Here two news about Firefox , the one or the other might be interested. 11 is known as Firefox and Firefox up to 12, it does not last so long. Silence is to get the updates for Firefox now means the user is to realize the update dance as little as possible.Silent install updates is not new as an idea, back in October last year, this new feature announced . As already published in October, the solution runs on the User Account Control (UAC) in Windows.
When you first install Firefox it is asked so explicitly, if you want to activate the service, which is responsible for the silent update. Updates are now automatically in the background and the user is not annoyed great. Requires an installed update a browser restart, Firefox has, after 24 hours out. This solution is implanted in the way Thunderbird.
The second part of the news revolves around the reset button. In future versions of Firefox when it comes to reinstall or reset is easier to use. At least for people who are not perhaps quite as good. Because if Firefox is not running, he will recognize in any nine-install that one profile is present, and propose to fix this.
Here, all settings, toolbars and Co are set to their default settings, things like extensions, themes, passwords, bookmarks, and form data are preserved. The new reset function is currently in the Nightlys of Firefox.via[Caschy]
