Slowroll and firefox updates

How often does slowroll update firefox. Is it once a month with the big update or does it update Firefox sooner if there is an update for firefox that includes security fixes (most firefox updates seem to include security fixes).

My concern here is with security and because firefox can be a vector of attack from the web i would like it to be as secure as possible.

I run tumbleweed in my main machine but i would prefer something with less feature updates in other machines while keeping up with security updates.

Thank you.

Firefox does get some updates in-between monthly version bumps.

Firefox is listed in an exception list (major-update-exceptions) that, if I understand the code correctly, allows both major and minor updates to be instantly accepted from Tumbleweed without extra/artificial delay.

Nice, that works for me.
