If anyone reads this, since firefox instantly wants to update, can those updates happen now? Will I have to install the form script after each update? I'd just as soon stop updating FF if all they can do is add to the chaos.

Off topic but does anyone know how to shut off the update notification, its just an annoyance but it does pop-up frequently.

Internet browser developers must keep abreast of a variety of attacks ("out there") and vulnerabilities. Updates include protection against those.

IMHO, users can delay some updates as long as they:

A) DO NOT click on links in e-mail messages.
B) DO NOT click on links in text messages.
C) Keep an eye on: https://www.howsmyssl.com/

Re links - copy the link, paste it into a text editor window, examine for "Does this look legit?", then paste into the URL address field of your Internet browser.

Sometimes, I paste into the Startpage.com search engine's search field, then click Enter/Return, and in the results list, choose the "Visit in Anonymous View" <- so you can view the website via the Startpage.com proxy feature.

I’ve been using these scripts for several months now and have gone thru a couple of FF updates with no issues.
