Update disabled extensions?

Not 100% sure, but I think disabled extensions (and GM User Scripts) are not updated when disabled, either manually or automatically. Would it be possible to add an option to allow this?

They are updated if an update is found.

I confirm. Half of my addons are disabled, and their updates are often listed (I update manually)

Thanks, good to know about extensions. Maybe it's a Greasemonkey thing. I tested a userscript before posting and when disabled it wouldn't update, at least not manually. When I enabled it, it updated right away.

You will have to speak to the developers of Greasemonkey about that.

Yes, should've tested with an extension before posting - sorry. Probably best to delete this thread.

Nah, it will serve to answer anyone else's question.
