Please reduce Firefox update frequency. Keep security updates, but fewer regular updates

I understand that security updates are important, and I absolutely want Firefox to continue installing important security fixes as soon as they are needed.

However, the current frequency of regular Firefox updates has become very frustrating. It feels like Firefox is constantly asking to update or restart, and this is especially annoying while I am working.

The previous update frequency felt much more reasonable. Frequent regular updates interrupt workflows and create unnecessary distraction, especially for people who use Firefox throughout the entire workday.

Please consider giving users an option to receive security updates immediately while limiting regular feature updates to a monthly schedule.

I've just had this same issue as you. Forced to update Firefox in the middle of deep work. However, a good alternative would be to turn off the automatic install of updates.
There's an option to select if you want automatic updates or would like to choose when to install in the Firefox preferences page.
