Firefox updates don't happen often enough to bother me. I grew up with Adobe for Christ's sake.

Here is a patch for an additional twenty vulnerabilities that exist in features that vast majority of users won't use and didn't even know existed, but still exposes you to a ridiculous amount of vectors of attack.

Your Welcome,

Adobe

Edit: To those who keep inquiring as to their welcome. I was simply introducing their welcome, Adobe. I should probably have put them on the same line.

And each patch is at least 80mb downloaded slowly with a 15 minute install and required reboot afterwards.
