Thanks for the clarification. I did think the Firefox update was automatic, but I think I confused myself by doing it manually today.

My main point was really meant to be the UAC, since it was a bit jarring to see today (First upgrade on Win7; just bought this computer a month ago). I'm glad to see that this is being looked into.

On the bright side, I had absolutely no issues with add-on compatibility this time around. In the old days, I would wait a while - sometimes literally months - before upgrading, because of issues with add-ons I considered "important". I actually ended up backing up my profile before any upgrades, and often had to roll back the version. I didn't even think of that today, I just clicked apply and everything worked. It's a serious improvement.

That's because the release is closer to 4.3 than 7. Faster, smaller changes rather than slower, bigger ones.
