   mozilla "updates"

   i prefer to download updates on my own schedule, especially when automatic   
   updates   
   (to any program, not only firefox) become too frequent, unexpected or   
   inconvenient   
   as seems especially evident the case of mozilla firefox (and thunderbird,   
   although   
   some users may depend on automatic updates), i'd recommend a more relaxed   
   approach...   
      
   uncheck "install updates":   
   >firefox > tools > settings > general > automatically install updates   
   (recommended)   
      
   switch to "check for updates":   
   >firefox > tools > settings > general > check for updates but let you choose   
   to install them   
      
   this way, the most current firefox update (currently "140.0.2") can be   
   downloaded   
   anytime with a simple mouse click . . . avoiding needless interruptions from   
   bots
