I use firefox for many websites having to do with finances, and all of them insist on two factor authorization anytime I log in from a different device or browser. That's good for security, but when the browser updates, even by a minor version, this triggers the need for extra login security on most of those websites. It's expected, but when the browser offers to update multiple times/week, it gets sufficiently annoying that I end up dismissing the frequent update reminders.  May I suggest you have a tiered level of updates? Maybe a setting that would allow me to only see reminders for major updates, like security fixes or major feature additions. Thanks for considering, and by the way thanks for making it easier to offer a suggestion!

I dont know. I use it every day. And 50% of the time when I open Firefox it wants to run some sort of update. I dont want a browser that needs to update nearly half the time that Im using it. Thats a nuisance. No other browsers does that. Im gonna use anything else than Firefox for this reason alone.

I use Firefox every day. But I use many different browsers. For the work that Im doing, I need as many different browsers with icognito as possible. So I use Firefox to serve this purpose. But every week theres a need update of some sort.

 

Im just gonna put this out here, cus I see many people complaining about it. I am not gonna use Firefox anymore. its too annoying that theres so many updates. I have tried it for some weeks. But I have had it. It seems to be a problem that doesnt go away. 

 

Maybe keep this in mind in the future Firefox. You need to understand that its annoying. And u do lose users over it.

 

Im not gonna wait around for a solution. Just try to suck a little less.

The multiple updates every week is very annoying - a lot of them are minor and do not impact me. This has become increasingly irritating in the recent times. I spent my life as a software developer and got software developed by a team of 1000s of people. I NEVER allowed so many bug fixes or updates as a way of quality control for hundreds of international and large organizations - set your target to be way more than even 3 sigma!!

I am a long time Firefox user but I am exploring using other browsers unless Firefox allows a setting through which I can control when these updates are applied!
