Aurora Keeps Updating For No Reason
Either every other day or else everytime I manually check for an update on Aurora it thinks there is an update. And then when I restart Aurora it turns out it updated to the exact same version of Aurora. Why does it do this? And/Or how do I fix this issue? This started happened last week. Around, I believe, a week after I had installed Aurora. I've tried re-installing Aurora onto the one I already have.

hello, i suppose this is expected behaviour - aurora is a development version that comes with daily updates. if you want less updates either switch to the beta channel (which receives ~weekly updates) or the release channel which has a six week release cycle.

Oh ok I hadn't realized that. I kept seeing it say version 22.0a2 and thought that it was doing that for no reason. I hadn't realized there was an update everyday.
Aurora gets checkins almost everyday so therefore it gets a update that day as a result. The more unstable Nightly channel is the same and sometimes it gets a respin that same day.
You can tell what build you have by the build date in useragent.
You can also see the date of the current version via Help > About and buildID (browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID) on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page.
If you do not want daily updates then either use the 21.0 beta version (update once a week) or the current release (updated every six weeks)
I don't mind it being updated everyday. I just hadn't realized that they updated Aurora everyday.
