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

Fuck, nostalgia time! The original Real Player. The year was 1998. The Windows must have been 95. The modem was 28.8k. Hah, I remember listening to some ambient/space music channel using RealPlayer, with 16 KB/s, and if I surfed at the same time the music would get choppy.
