When Firefox starts it checks updated Add-ons, and you can click "update". After the update is done, it shows a windows and again asks if you want to check for updates. Could this be done any smarter? My non-computer friends calls me and ask what do to each time. How about just showing "update succeed" and button to "Check for more updates" or "OK" to continue. The after-update window is not logic.

The second display of the Add-ons window in Firefox 3.6.x, is not asking to check again, but is showing all of your Add-ons, and the Add-on(s) just updated with have a slightly lighter background color as you scroll down the list, so that any new options can be set.

In Firefox 4, updates are done automatically, in the background, while you are doing something else in Firefox. The installation of the updates is completed when you close Firefox and restart it. The Add-ons window does not open at start up after Add-on updates or to download the updates in Firefox 4.
