Another damn update with bug fixes that don't concern me. Your code is getting unnecessarily fat. A simpler option would be appreciated, create fewer problems and waste less resources, for more people.

hi, major firefox versions are scheduled to be released on a fixed 6-week cycle (the next one is next week). the 39.0.3 update that you are probably referring to, is a critical security fix which does concern you as well since there was a vulnerability discovered, that can enable attack sites to read files on your pc without leaving any trace. (nothing to do with "fatter" for sure, since only a few lines of code had to be changed for that).
