Mozilla's Check for Updates is a fantastic feature, lightweight and reliable. Commercial software "updates" are a hostile joke by comparison: a complete reinstall that makes you reapply settings (QuickTime), tries to sneak in other software (iTunes), leaves old crap around (Adobe and Java), or leaves an update checking process permanently running (Java). Their incompetence makes people suspicious of updaters. Maybe the upgrade FAQ should say "Firefox update doesn't suck like other ones" :) Your link to update _FAQ page_ is broken, remove the second “en-us/”in the path.
