IT'S AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE WAITING HALF MY LIFE TO LOAD MY BROWSER - MUCH MORE SATISFYING THAN HAVING THE MONITOR EXPLODE IN MY FACE BECAUSE OF BAD PLUGINS. MAYBE IF THEY DIDN'T BUILD THEM WITH FUSES IN THEM WE WOULDN'T NEED AUTOMATIC UPDATES. I MIGHT SUGGEST THIS TO MOZILLA.

AUTOMATIC UPDATE CHECKS ARE THE BEST BROWSER FEATURE HANDS-DOWN BECAUSE THEY COMPLETELY FREEZE YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM UNTIL THEY FINISH THEIR UPDATE CHECKS, OR UNTIL EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE THAT HAD BEEN PINGED AT THE OTHER END OF THE 'NET RESPONDS. ONLY A TRUE GENIUS COULD IMPLEMENT SUCH AWESOME UTILITY.
