Anyone else fed up with Firefox needing an update every few days?
Cant they get it right and leave it for 6 months

Browsers are the piece of software most at risk of security compromise on your PC, and you rather they weren't updated?

It's not as if Chrome and Edge don't see pretty frequent updates as well.

you sure youve not installed the nightly version that gets updates everyday.

So annoying Windows 10 still doesn't have a package manager that updates everything.
Potentially the App Store may fulfil that role?

Doesnt it do that with the 25GB download every few months

No, that just updates Windows and the built in applications (Notepad, Calculator etc). With a Linux distro, if you use the package manager, then that deals with updates for any installed applications you have added through it, all in the one one place.
