Why has Firefox been updated three or more times a month? Is the software not reliable? or Is the software poorly written? or You don't care about your users? For security purposes, we have antiviruses, antispam, etc., software, and firewalls. This is a lousy situation for users like me because we have been asking to update all the time, and it's interfering with the browser settings that get resettled every time there is an update, and I have to set them up again, wasting my time on it. Why can you not do it monthly like Microsoft, and why you don't tell us what is the update for? I would appreciate your answer to it before I decide to switch to another browser. Best regards.

There have been 2 releases in a matter of about 3 days this week. You can get information about releases. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releases/

Firefox 106.0 was Released on October 18, 2022. The two update since were just for stability fixes (security concerns can lead to minor updates also) and are not really Releases.

Every web browser can have minor updates for security and or stability fixes though in best case scenario none are required ideally.
