    I find it very strange that the people I have converted (mostly not too tech-savvy) to using Firefox, still have to make re-installs themselves. No, apt-get upgrade catches it automatically. I'm not sure how the propritary OSes handle it. It would be nice if windows update automatically upgraded your firefox for you, but somehow I'm not holding my breath.
