'updating Firefox is quick and easy'

Not as easy as it can be. Windows has Windows Update service. Firefox update service in in fact only download of full setup. Update and full setup should not be same things. I am missing something like hotfixes for windows.
For dialup users it is bad to download ~5MB with each bugfix. It is also a bit boring to click through the setup wizard again and again. Hotfix replacing (or just patching) few specific files would be nice. Is anything like this in a pipeline?
