Firefox checks them for updates about every 24 hours. See : https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/webextensions-not-performing-automatic-update/11555
ok Firefox updates automatically existing webextensions(which are added to Firefox) but will Firefox replace a classical addon (which is not a "web"extension) automatically by it's webextension replacement when classical addons become unusal in november?
