The fact that firefox updates when I open it instead of when I close it. Has to be the most annoying feature ever. (lemy.lol)

I mean like why? Just open and update when I'm done that's what every other browser does. Stop making me wait to use the Internet firefox!

This is what I hate on school computers, and it drives people away from Firefox.
You don't have admin privilege, you can't update, so don't even try.
I always disable auto-updates on those.

, my work computer requires admin permissions to install anything. But for some reason, especially with Firefox or any other web browser. You can just click cancel on the enter the administrative password andshit screen and then it just installs anyways.

It installs it into your local user folder instead.
