What pisses me off is less about the update itself (they're typically unnoticeable) but the constant nags and "what's new" crap that opens up after the update. Firefox is more hostile than a lot of paid, proprietary software in this regard.

This. That crap is significantly more disruptive and irritating that the actual paid ads in old-school free Opera (the largest feature-comparable browser when FF/Phoenix/Firebird first launched).
