Mozilla announced this week that it plans to integrate a silent updater in the next build of its flagship browser, Firefox. The silent update mechanism will allow future patches for Firefox 12 to be downloaded and installed in the background while the browser is running. Mozilla said that its shift to an agile Rapid Release development model forced the company to interrupt users and apply patches more often. Firefox 12 is slated for an April 24 release and Firefox 13 should see a BETA release inside of Mozilla s release channel Aurora on the same date.
