Even better
Just save the link in Mozilla and you don't have to risk downloading a trivial patch that may have one or more undesired side effects.

Here is one area where corporations got it right. At most places, you will be fired if you run Windows Update on your machine and find yourself unable to do your job. Each trip changes the configuration of your machine in ways you can't be sure of even if you review the patches. It might work most of the time, but that one time it doesn't will have you kicking yourself. Why fix something if it works right?
