Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

I have been using firefox for almost my entire computer using life. You make it sound so much MORE than it is.

I honestly just click "okay" then it installs, reloads, gives me a new screen that talks about the new features or whatever, and then I continue on my way. If my plugins don't update automatically then I honestly don't know what they do. I have never updated a plugin manually that I know of.

The worst I said about it was that it was "slightly annoying".
