The company has been working on silent updating for about 17 months. Mozilla unloads a Firefox upgrade every six weeks - it launched Firefox 11 just two days ago - and has Firefox 13's release on the calendar for June 5, 2012. "Silent updates are currently planned to land in Firefox 13." "Updates will now be downloaded and installed silently in the background," wrote Nyman in a Wednesday post to the Hacks Mozilla blog. In a sweeping summary of 2011's accomplishments and an outline of plans for 2012, Robert Nyman, a Mozilla technical evangelist, listed silent updates as one the projects the company will finish this year. Mozilla yesterday reiterated that it's still working on silent updates for Firefox and said it should have the Chrome-like service in place by early June.
