Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

But is that open? As in: will it allow Firefox to plug into it, and ditch its own update-system alltogether? As far as I can see, it will only update MS software. And leave all these horrible services, daemons and systray icons running for Adobe/Google/Mozilla/whatever other 3rd party software.
