Yes, 1492 Thanks ... I have it checked for "ask me" not automatic update ... and it keeps asking me.
Sometimes, I'd like to update ... but with the FireFox, it seems to run worse after the updates than before. And it seems to run fine now -- of course, I'd not want the 'nasties' getting in either, so it's either you update it or you update it ... no winners in the long run, I guess.
And, I run the updates when we have a WIFI tap-in, like a library - instead of blowing out our 'hotspot' allowance. Seems this FireFox update pops up every five minutes tho' ... annoying a bit. Will have update time this weekend.
Your habit of updating at public sites (i.e. Library) to save money is just asking for trouble. Especially for someone like you who always posting with your latest problem or perceived complaint. Dependent your installed security some systems may be more vulnerable to attack while downloading updates.
One thing I do agree about is the automatic updating can cause problems for some because of downloading and installation can fail if user is running programs at same time or inadvertently shuts down not knowing updating is taking place in the back-ground. Easy to do on systems with slower CPU's or less memory.
"Notify me" is best and the updates should be done at a secure site as soon as possible, and don't run other programs or mess with the computer until the installations have finished. Pay attention and follow the instructions.
