That's possible but the update process in Fedora is recently too slow. Even
Firefox security updates sits in testing for week.
I'm not seeing this, at least as a general rule. Most firefox updates seem
to be pushed within a day.
I bet that
official
update from AMO (mozilla extension site) will be way faster that Fedora
update.
I suspect this will vary greatly depending on the maintainer and the
security issue.
