Exciting changes are coming to Firefox Update on Windows! We have added the ability to download updates via the Windows BITS component. This change will allow Firefox to continue downloading an update after Firefox has been closed. Note that this does not allow downloads to be started without Firefox (but that feature is in the works!)
This feature is already on Nightly, but is turned off by default. It can be enabled by setting the "app.update.BITS.enabled" pref to true. Soon, we plan to test this feature by turning it on for a randomly-selected half of Nightly users. This will be done by setting the default value of the pref, so the decision can still be overridden by changing the pref value manually. If you have a problem with this feature, you can file an application update bug blocking Bug 1540193: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Toolkit&component=Application+Update&blocked=1540193 -bytesized _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
