My impression too. If you click on the little fir tree icon at the top of the Firefox page it says, "Critical Updates Available". I'd have said that the standard meaning of update is something that is added
to an existing version that you do not need to remove first - in fact, I'd go further and claim that it is impossible to install an update without leaving the version being updated in place. In other words, Mozilla have quietly redefined the accepted meaning of the word update without letting we innocents know about it.
