Here's a good example of problems with (the current approach for)
online updates for Firefox:
Flash plugin up to date but Firefox keeps telling me that I have the
old version:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/q/174210/2511
that may all be true *but* something like "please reboot your machine
because there is an update for flash" is ridiculous and comes near to
jokes about microsoft like "you moved you mouse - please reboot to make
the change active"
