I've complained about this before. There is a show I record pretty much daily. I start the browser up and 5 minutes after the browser is running, Firefox blasts a billboard on my screen blocking my recording because they have to tell me with a big picture that there is an update to Firefox. They can't tell me when I start the browser, it has to wait until I've started recording and have walked away from the computer. Does ANYONE know how to stop this arrogant way of telling me there is a software update??? PLEASE! I've attached an image of what my 1 hour video recording looks like whenever wonderful Firefox has an update. How annoying!!!

That is an important security update. Please allow it.
