What version of Firefox are you using? It hasn't done that in ages. You have to open the About window to check for new updates and install them.


Non-Windows still has modal update dialog. On startup for non-Windows you are blocked from using the browser until the update is complete. There is a dialog if you run out of date extensions. There is a nag dialog if you have an update pending for over 24h.


What platform? Most Linux distros compile Firefox with "--disable-updater --disable-installer", such that Mozillas auto-update doesn't even exist.


OS X and Mozilla Linux builds.
