Never check for updates
#6
I find this annoying as well. It is annoying since I do not give my users (Dad, Wife) admin rights. Once every couple of weeks or months, I log in remotely to my Dad's MBA and I switch user to my account (admin) and I run the update. Usually 1-2 major version behind. Here at home, I use my wife's MBP daily, I do not want to swicth accounts. She uses Safari, I open Firefox. It prompts me to update, but since her account does not have admin rights, I have to put that off until I am willing to switch accounts. Having an SSD makes logging in faster, but still takes a minute or so to log in, update, log out. fine once, twice,, but it gets boring after a while. So I put it off for a few days... I try to keep more up to date, but I still slip 1-2 minor versions behind once in a wile.

Alternatives are much worse (to not update the browser).

Or I could switch to Chrome, I think that updates without having to log in as admin (I am not 100% sure though). I have other reason to not like Chrome (privacy, seem to use too many resources, etc).
