Too Many Version Updates

Making moves

Just installed Version 115.18 Oesr, now another pop-up for a new update... this happens every couple weeks, interruptive and annoying.  Firefox has always done this, bothersome.  Version updates would be okay every few months at most, providing significant operational improvements and security plugs at once.  These should be identified as major releases, and this would be manageable for users. 

Marginal code and bug fixes should not require downloads and reinstallations so frequently... instead, enable incremental patches for affected users as an option. This approach would not mess up the R&D workflow, and makes more sense for regular folks.

Think about it, you good geeks.  Thanks.

Firefox wants to install version / fix updates every other day with 3 daily reminders if one does not allow them to be installed when Firefox wants. Irritating and NOT acceptable! I have been using Firefox for years but I am not so sure I will continue using Firefox for long with so many bug fixes. Firefox must allow a user option to define when the updates can be applied instead of 'bugging' users with messages by interrupting what one is working on.
