Using Firefox as main browser means endless updates every now and then.
這兩者 並不相等
Firefox users have a tendency of
rushing to the latest release.
It is quite true that most people rush to the latest release on one particular mirror when it appears. Sometimes it isn't even the real release and they'd still bring servers down to their knees.
However,
endless updates doesn't only apply to Firefox, but to Safari and Opera as well. All of these browsers have security holes to patch from time to time, and they tend to increase minor version numbers for better identification,
unlike Internet Explorer.
Updating is something that Apple only gets right on Mac OS X, because OS X has a unified Software Update app where all patching and upgrading are centralized. If you're on Windows, then you're stuck with having to download a 30+MB file again just to do a minor update. I don't know if this still applies, now that Apple actually includes a Windows version of Software Update starting from iTunes 7. But again, I've lost count of how many times I downloaded iTunes
again just because it can't update itself in a nice fashion like Firefox does on the Windows platform.

Also, in my humble opinion, there's no need to panic about each vulnerability discovered. Most of those are NOT that serious as the way they've been reported. Most of the seriousness are over exaggerated. (It is common for discovers and vulnerability reporting sites to exaggerate the situation, as people want to make news.)
Secunia is one of those sites these days that thrives to make their name appear on the media as much as possible. They do discover serious browsers flaws, but they're also good at blowing things out of proportion.
