User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009030422 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.7

When I launch Firefox, it tests if new versions of my extensions exist. If it is the case, a window shows up and ask me which extensions I want to update.

Sometimes, the download of the update can take a long time, and I switch to other applications, leaving Firefox in background. When I try to get back to Firefox, I'm still on the extension update window and only waits for a click from me.

I think that it would be great that that window automatically closes itself if no error happened and Firefox' main window opens. If there is some failure, of course, the extension update window should be kept open. But very often it is not the case, and that begins to bore me.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update an extension on its website
2. Launch Firefox.
3. The extensions update window will pop-up. Validate to update the extension.
4. Wait: the window will ask you to "continue".
Actual Results:  
The window is not automatically closed.

Expected Results:  
The window is automatically closed.
