how big is the new mozilla update you keep trying to shove down my throat?
I have limited bandwidth and need to know the size of any update so I can schedule it. Or, I could jettison Mozilla, after 7 years as a loyal customer.

If you miss one or more updates you will get a full instead of a small partial.
So how big is a full update in megabytes? What's the largest I should anticipate? Why isn't it specified in the "More information about the update"s?
I live on the fringe and sometimes only achieve dial up speeds, and don't want to tie up my connection for several hours trying to download a few hundred megabytes of upgrade. I am also limited to 5 Gb per month on my data plan, and when an automated download tries to initiate near the end of my billing period, it not only uses up my remaining bandwidth for the month, but also can't finish, 'cuz the connection terminates.
The full version for Mac is 64 MB
The sizes of partial and full updates you can see here:
firefox-32.0.3-33.1.1.partial.mar 14-Nov-2014 00:55 24M firefox-33.0.3-33.1.1.partial.mar 14-Nov-2014 00:55 2.4M firefox-33.1-33.1.1.partial.mar 14-Nov-2014 00:55 563K firefox-33.1.1.complete.mar 14-Nov-2014 00:55 62M
So you can see that the latest partial update from 33.1 to 33.1.1 is only 563 KB and a full update 62 MB Updating from 33.0.3 to 33.1.1 is still only 2.4 MB
