Just "checked" for an update to Firefox 12. This "check" downloaded the update using an unknown name and to an unknown location, bypassing the designated download folder and making it impossible to find. It then proceeded to install without first asking if that's what I wanted. This process could only be terminated with a force quit, which was done. Upon relaunch, the update installed without asking if that was desired. This is nonsense. I very much don't appreciate folks at Mozilla.org taking away my decisions just because that makes their life a bit more convenient. The update option should do the following, and Mozilla .org should not have to be told this. 1a.) Inform the user that this process involves automatic download and installation, with no opportunity for user input, and provide a "cancel" option. OR: 1b.) Provide an option for manual download of the dmg file to the designated download folder using a logical filename-- like, with "Firefox" as part of the name. This option should include the opportunity to manually install the download at a later time, rather than forcing it on the user's throat with no opportunity to control the process. 2.) This update protocol should emphatically not conceal the download using an unknown name in an unknown location. This is disrespectful of prerogatives that belong to the user, and not to Mozilla.org. So could someone please tell me how these downloads are named, and where Firefox places them? Thanks.
