And whatever you do, don't download it from miscellaneous sites you find on Google. Some of them are bundled with garbage, or even with malware. Get it from Mozilla.
Well that's all fine and dandy, but I don't have time to screw around with a browser 'update' that is _Buggy_. The last fiasco was enough, so I'm glad I looked here before I clicked the update button on the pop-up. I've noticed that when there's an update and people complain that something is broken because of it, the first thing that happens is that the problem is blamed on something else -- in this case, firewalls and malware. I don't know if you've heard, but several of the posts from people with the problem don't run a firewall. Also, I'm sure many of the people here are familiar enough with their firewalls to check there first. I'm not going to update to a version that forces me to use IE (which I have never used and wiped it completely off my drives until became so integrated into the OS that became impossible).
When the problem is fixed and blame stops being shifted, I'll update, but I'll check these forums first to make sure there aren't a bunch of breaks first.
Edit (regarding your Quicktime reference and the vulnerabilities link): Thankfully, I do run NoScript.
