I usually open a terminal, su to root, and run Firefox when I want
to do an update. I also root's home page set to a blank page. So I
can click on Help --> Check for updates to get the updates. There is
still some risk, but I find the risk acceptable. The only web site
root gos to is the Firefox site.
