Chrome and Firefox have the same policy for minor updates.  We both  
update without asking.  The only difference is that Chrome users  
aren't told when they are updated and Firefox users are.  Major  
updates are different - they are definitely opt-in and we see a lot of  
lag in users updating that way.

Note that this is using the Firefox binaries and auto-update  
mechanism, not the update mechanism the distros use.  The distros  
require users to allow the upgrade to happen.
