Note that once you have the current Firefox 25.0.1 you should not get update prompts until Firefox 26.0 is released on December 10.

You already have firefox 25. The Release 25.1 was a minor release to fix a problem and fix security issues .

It is important with Firefox, and other software that it is kept up-to-date otherwise important security fixes are missed. You will put your System and personal data at higher risk if you do not keep up-to-date.

We do release versions earlier and a dedicated band of more experienced users test these, however all faults are not always found so after many Releases there needs to be a minor release to fix problems that are only discovered after the the Release starts going out to the Millions, &/or to fix new security issues..
