I observed that firefox will not auto update unless it's open or in use, if I want to force an auto update even firefox without being in use, is there an option. Similar to google update which also has a scheduled task to update the product periodically.

No, there isn't such a Command line switch to check for updates in Firefox

You will have to check for updates yourself by starting Firefox and check tor updates via Help > About.
