Firefox literally asks to be updated a few times per week. I don't care if you say you only roll out updates once every six weeks or whatever. This is my experience and you are ruining a great product. To update for updates sake is foolish and unnecessary. It's not "keeping up with technology". I may become an ex-Firefox user soon.

I'd rather have updates appear, knowing that security patches are usually applied. Although a few times a week sounds like you're using the beta channel, which gets updates three times per week, otherwise I usually get a version update every 4 weeks along with a point release about halfway through.
I recommend getting the stable channel in this case.

the reply above says it all; if something is broken (especially with a browser) then it is better to get the fix ASAP
as a consolation, there does appear to be a regular release cadence

other than that, welcome to the wonderful world of devops 🙃

What's amazing to me is that I continue to have ALL updates forced to OFF or disabled. YET EVERY WEEK IT AUTO UPDATES THE FREAKING BROWSER! No pop-up, nothing. I start the browser, if there is an update it just closes the browser out of nowhere and then when i go to restart it, low and behold its a diff version. Pissing me off.

this is probably the most unhinged request i've seen, it shows a big lack of understanding in technology, software, and security.

Hello
Perhaps you could clarify your version of Firefox you are using
