Type Inference in 9.0 wasn't a security fix. Reducing memory usage by 30-50% in 7.0 wasn't either. (I'm sure the other releases had improvements other than security fixes, just nothing that interested me personally).
*nor when we check for update*

I don't use windows so it probably isn't available to me
I don't get what you mean here. Firefox is most certainly not a "Windows-only" product.
but Nightly is broken
It breaks often. That's why there's an Aurora and Beta in between before you even get to a release.
because FF changes their version number at a different pace (though I agree that it is a silly and pointless move).
The version number changes quicker because the releases happen quicker. That's not hard to understand.
Didn't make it, though something like 99% of the stuff on AMO is compatible. The problem will still be third party plugins (better called "malware" IMHO)

"Search engines who do not share the income generated by our users, are removed from Linux Mint and might get their ads blocked."
I don't know what to say to that, but I sure as hell won't be using their blackmail software.
The problem is when the font rendering in those consoles is fucked up.
Which is exactly what Linux Mint gives you. I'll take my Unity AIDS instead, thanks.
Europe =/= Germany. Not that they didn't try, though. Apple *and* the Germans, that is.
The patches for this landed last week but were backed out because of an issue on one platform. They should be back in as soon as those get resolved.

Maybe the problem is that during their passing in Mountain View they get lost in the Google or Facebook campusses
