Actually, Firefox DOES automatically update itself by default. You can turn off this option if you really want to, but I don't see why you would. But there is a little problem with it; it doesn't say nor let you specify how often it checks for updates. I think it checks every time Firefox starts, but all it says in the settings is "periodically"...however often that is.
