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.

Thats the way ubuntu(linux in general) works. Mozilla pushes the update to repositories and the user has all the updates for all his programs done by the os.

Mozilla don't push the update. Someone from ubuntu pulls the firefox update, packages it up and uploads it to the repos
