Think "Microsoft"
Think "Auto Update"
Think "Windows Genuine Advantage" spyware.

Enough said.

.... When sign makers go on strike, is anything written on their picket
signs?

For every positive thing there is an equal negative aspect.
And for ever negative thing there is an equal positive aspect.
This is called the law of polar opposites.
All those things may you listed have some negative aspect perhaps,
but they also have positive aspects. Which aspects do you prefer to see and
dwell upon?

I like to be in control of things, and I decide whether to update it or
not.

Those which have a realistic prospect of realisation, whether or not I
regard such realisation as desirable. Forewarned is forearmed.
You sound like a Microsoft apologist.

Please explain how you concluded this?

It is wrong. I am merly stating the LAW, just I could state the law of
gravity.
Also I am going further explaining that if you focus on the positive aspects
of things, you will have better results.

FF update has nothing to do with microsoft in the first place...
FF does not force you to update, and neither does microsoft.
