Aggression? Sarcastic or cynical maybe, but notice that I gave you useful information. Take it or leave it.

David, my suggestion is to separate ranting and asking for help. As you've noticed, people get turned off (or on) by the rant and forget that you're asking for help (which really doesn't seem that obvious).
And to add, don't hijack another thread, especially an important one like this, to rant or ask a support question. You have already been told that you need to start a new topic for any support issues.

Thunderbird also seems affected. It is frequently updated with no apparanent change - so I have frozen the updates to that software too.

... I find this discussion superfluous to a certain degree as Firefox 12 will have silent updates. It just a matter of sitting it out until then.
