Will the latest update now being nagged about delete logins for web sites and apps Firefox has done with the last few updates? Second, why doesn't Firefox disclose WHY an update is needed first (so a user can make his or her own mind up)? These questions beg another important one: if Firefox believes all the constant updates are so important, first, why don't they get them all done at once and quit piecemealing them out? Dishing them out in smaller updates often could easily leave the impression that someone doesn't know what he's doing ... and I'd like not to believe that about Firefox.

Thank you.

There are release notes here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releases/

This is the latest I have seen: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/101.0/releasenotes/

I haven't personally experienced logins being deleted. I also find the constant releases tiresome.

Every web browser often gets minor update(s) whenever there is a need to due to security, stability or bug fixes that could not wait till next major Release.

Mozilla tries to fix what they can in first update after a new Firefox Release if a update is required, however somethings may not get discovered and fixed right away.

As you can see on the Release Notes page linked above that many Release have zero or one update. The versions that have 9-12 or more updates are the ESR channel meant more for Enterprise users in mind.
