And, of course, I'm happy to hear from everyone, even MS employees! As far as I know, Firefox automatically checks for updates (security updates, extension updates, version updates, etc.) whenever it is started. This feature is turned on by default, although it can be turned off if desired. So, no, I wouldn't say that Windows Automatic Update gives an advantage over Firefox, but I could be missing something here. As for Protected Mode in Windows Vista, I have to plead ignorance. I haven't yet had a chance to use Vista extensively and don't know enough to make an informed comment. Perhaps you can provide a few details for the benefit of this blog's readers. Ian Hi Mike,

What about Protected mode on Windows Vista? Yes I do work for Microsoft to be fair =) Wouldn’t you consider Automatic Update delivery of security updates an advantage given most people do not hit “Check for update” on Firefox every day?
