I agree, and Mozilla is completely in the right here. Software security updates are like necessary vaccinations: you're not just inoculating yourself; you're creating a herd immunity. When you fail to do this, you put other people at risk because a compromise of your system is not isolated to you. Rather, your system is likely to be added to a botnet or in some other way used to attack other systems.
