The question is not when I will install my updates, but if. Generally the answer is that I won't apply any patches at all.
If you refuse to acknowledge that updates a) also introduce bugs, and b) consistently have negative impacts on the software, then I don't see how we can possibly have an honest conversation about this.
I certainly do not consider the security of my browsing experience to be such an important factor that I am willing to sacrifice all of my autonomy to obtain marginally more of it. This is the same argument that has been applied countless times to all sorts of monetization and surveillance disguised as security. I simply accept the risks.

- acdha 6y agoThis is like trying to argue that cars shouldn't have safety equipment because you don't want to pay for something you don't [yet] agree you need. A web browser is extremely complex and usually the most security-sensitive software most people use. You don't have the resources to maintain a fork so if you really dislike the decisions made by the Mozilla developer team, switch to a different browser rather than making your browser experience worse and putting yourself at risk.
