The browser upgrade process varies depending on whether the upgrade is a major or minor upgrade. Major upgrades occur when a major version of Bonfire is released, and the new version of the Bonfire server plugin is not compatible with prior versions of the Bonfire browser extensions. Major upgrades require a re-installation of Bonfire browser extensions. Minor upgrades occur when a minor version of Bonfire is released. Minor upgrades do not require a complete reinstallation.
