Constant Annoying Updates

more options

Why is there constant updates?. It seems like everyday there is one and it's annoying. The updates seem to add like stupid shopping, having 80 tabs open and stupid crap like that. I am beginning to think Microsoft's Edge browser is the best even though it's a terrible browser. Also given the fact that Mozilla now wants to sell our browsing history to advertisers. Mozilla has decided privacy is no longer important now by selling our info for targeted ads. Seems like you want to collect as much of what sites we visit plus more telemetry to spy on us. If you piss enough people off, then they and myself are going to switch browsers. You have the nerve to ask for donations only to turn around and sell our information.

Hi

Typically, Firefox updates once a month, although that may be more frequent if there is a pressing functional issue that we believe needs to be fixed sooner.

Donations to the Mozilla Foundation are not connected to Firefox and do not fund it's development or support.

Firefox is trying to update literally anytime and almost everyday. Paul's response above that Firefox tries to update once a month is incorrect! I agree with the first users comment - if this goes on I will switch browsers though I have been a long time Firefox user. I have a 30 years plus software development background managing very very large teams for international customers and I would have literally fired my development teams if there were so many bugs / updates!!
