I don't want Firefox silently updating add-ons.

I want Firefox 4 to behave like how 3.6 did with add-on updates, or at least similar to it. More, I want it to notify me when an add-on has an update, so then either I can update it. Or, simply notify me that an add-on is updating.

I noticed a menu in the Add-on manager with a check mark on "Update Add-Ons Automatically". If I have that turned off, will Firefox notify me of add-on updates?

Go to Options | Advanced | Update and either pick "Ask me what I want to do" or uncheck the "Add-ons" button.

I have the "Ask me what I want to do" thing checked. I still don't get notified of updates for add-ons. I'm pretty sure that option is for Firefox updates...
