I understand your concern and in general you are very right. But, the user is able to use a tarball and the mozilla repository in general is no - not as others -  cause for additional trouble. On the other hand, the tested firefox is threatened by zero day exploits and as always very late from a security view. There is no good solution for that, but the possible trouble from using the tarball or mozilla repo for someone who was able to go for that is minutes to make it undone again.

Btw, thank you for your great work, tumbleweed for sure is my favorite. Others are also good, but tumbleweed is outstanding.

That is a pretty useless comment. I assume that you read the OP and am
wondering how a new user should have your knowledge. But my guess is that you
felt the need to reply for some other reason.
