Why do recent Firefox upgrades no longer work as smoothly as they used to?

If I remember correctly, Firefox used to install or at least download upgrades automatically then prompt to ask if I want to to save or run. Then it would restart the browser to let the upgrade complete or ask if I wanted to allow it to restart.

Recently, Firefox upgrades are annoying and no longer automated. I get a prompt asking where to save the installer, e.g. Firefox Setup Stub 33.0.2.exe. It saves the installer and stops. Then we have to navigate to where the file was saved and run it manually. Next I get another prompt asking to save the installer a second time which I assume to be an error and dismiss. Finally, instead of simply prompting the user to restart to allow the upgrade to finish, we get a pop-up message warning that Firefox is already running with a less clear message: "Please close Firefox prior to launching the version you have just installed." Most people wouldn't try to open Firefox again when it's already open.

Now I'm wondering, was it my imagination that Firefox upgrades were once smoother and more automated?

Firefox on Windows never had the ability to run .exe due to security and common sense reasons.

Also who do you think people will blame when they get infected after they run a iamreallyavirus.exe before scanning it.

An update is done in Firefox itself.
