Updates ever other day....Why?
I am getting updates on Firefox ever other day, and this has been going on for a while, but now it's getting kind of annoying! Why is my browser requesting updates every other day or so?

hello, you appear to be using a pre-release beta version which receives frequent updates - you could download and switch to the firefox release version instead which is getting updates on a six week schedule: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox
When you are on the Beta update channel then you usually updates twice a week (Tuesday and Friday).
- "3-bar" Firefox menu button: Help

The Beta channel usually gets say six to twelve updates for each new version with nine being the usual amount in last number of Releases.
So far there is a 31.0b3 yet the Beta page on mozilla.org still links to the old 31.0b1
The more bleeding edge Aurora and Nightly channels gets checkins almost everyday and therefore it gets a update each of those days.
The Firefox Release which is currently 30.0 does not get updates unless they felt a chemspill update was warranted for either security and or stability bug fixes and the first update version would be 30.0.1.
