Does Firefox extension update on users' machines by the time the author uploads a new version?

Question

Does a Firefox extension update on users' machines at the time the author uploads a new version or does the extension need to pass the full/preliminary review first? If it needs to pass a review first, then will it automatically update to the new version on users' computers?

Answer 1

I'm guessing you're talking about addons.mozilla.org...

You need to pass a review first!

• Add-ons on the prelim. track need to pass another prelim. review (or upgrade to full review status)
• Add-ons on the full review track need to pass another full review. A prelim. review will not enable updates to the version.

Please see: After the review

PS: SO isn't really the place to ask questions like this. The developer forums, amo-editors mailing list, or IRC are more appropriate.
