I've never seen this and I keep firefox open pretty much until it decides to randomly crash (probably an extension so something but still goes for a few days usually)
How long are you going without restarting firefox once?

Can I see your update settings? Should be under FireFox Updates in General.
Well, you are right and I hate this too.
However - why can't you choose your own time to update your system with all packages? That's on Linux, and Windows has suffering embedded in its license agreement anyway, even if this bit of it isn't from MS.
Also its current UI is what I hate much more. Why could they not make it look like FF 3 at least is beyond me. It was good , usable, and it also carries an element of brand continuity, loyalty if you wish.
I understand why XUL had to go ... well, not really, they didn't have to reinvent C for multithreading, and just like that FF developers didn't have to abolish XUL in its entirety for having separate threads for separate tabs and the UI.
Actually I also hate the fact of them abolishing XUL instead of changing it into something incompatible but just as powerful.
I've been using Firefox on all my machines for (many) years now and literally not once have I ever seen this. Maybe you unintentionally have some option set to install updates more quickly/directly?
Better safe than sorry.
