Sometimes i get the message a update is installed, whether i want to restart firefox now or wheter i want work now. I see no possibility to deactivate these updates, or anything like "ask again next startup". Do firefox at least check a MD5 or anything like that @ update?. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.wait till next update is available.
2. You have not to do anything, you have no choice to install or not, it will force you.
Actual Results:  
A update is installed without your aggreement, possible not checked for bad code .

Expected Results:  
Ask the user whether he want install now or not.

This error you can reproduce on all systems i`ve tested.

The checks are always done, the process is as open as the source code. See

For preventing future updates, from the menu:
Tools -> Options, "Advanced" section, "Update" tab,
untick the box next to "Firefox".
