The first section of this article states that you can configure Firefox and Thunderbird to update your extensions and themes automatically. as part of the Software Update feature. However, the Software Update article says that the mechanism does not update extensions and themes for Fx and Tb 1.5. Which is correct? And if extensions and themes have their own update managers in 1.5, how does the user interact with them? Is there an option for automatic extension update, or do you have to use the the Extension Manager's Update button? --Mozcerize 04:01, 27 November 2005 (PST)
