Is there another update strategy that FF can implements? I understand update is good for security, but other apps are not updating on a daily basis.

There have been 2 updates in quick succession (3 days apart), the second update was to fix a stability issue affecting some pages containing plugins.

Updates are normally a few weeks apart, unless there is a security/stability issue that requires an urgent fix.

There have been 4 new releases in the last month which is unusual. There is generally a new release every 6 to 8 weeks to correct security and stability issues and to add new features. The developers are keeping on top of any stability and security issues and getting them corrected quickly. For myself, I am thankful for that.

On or about 06/22/2010-Firefox 3.64 was released which included the new plugin-container (aka Out-of-Process-Plugins (OOPP), or crash protection feature) to keep your entire browser from crashing when Adobe Flash, Silverlight or Apple Quicktime crashes. Only the tab(s) with the crashing plugin will crash, not the whole browser. Other plugins will be added later. Several stability and security issues were also corrected (see below).

On or about 06/26/2010-Firefox 3.6.6 was released; the version numb 3.6.5 was used for another Firefox product, the mobile version, I believe. Firefox 3.6.6 fixed a problem with the crash protection feature introduced in Firefox 3.6.4. The crash protection feature was incorrectly identifing a plugin as having crashed much too soon (10 seconds; the length of time was extended to 45 seconds). There were no stability or security issues corrected in this release.

On or about 07/19/2010-Firefox 3.6.7 was released to correct several stability and security issues (see below).

On 07/23/2010-Firefox 3.6.8 was released to correct a single, but critical, security issue (see below).

Hope this information helps you to understand the reason for so many updates in such a short period of time.

Both of my computers for the last two weeks ACTUALLY HAVE updated EVERY DAY during these two weeks!! It is really quite annoying. Every time it is done it brings up the screen 'welcome to version 3.6.8'. Today when I opened Firefox it said it was downloading updates again!
