When I am notified of new releases (mainly via RSS) I download whatever (including Firefox & Chrome) at a time that suits me, over a link that suits me. It goes into an install queue, which I process after taking a system checkpoint at a time that suits me.
Some applications, including Firefox, are first installed into a VM where I check them out for surprises. Been bitten too many times with things not working satisfactorily. I didn't install Firefox 34.0 because it had a bug that affected me, a few days later a fix release was issued, 34.05 I think.
I've been following that basic process for 30+ years for my personal systems and longer for work. It isn't going to change until up pushing up daisies.
