You should be using the internal Firefox updater to install new versions of Firefox. The stub is only used if you are installing Firefox for the first time. No need to get Firefox 38.o full setup from any random unofficial download sites. So if you are downloading from then you know you are only getting Firefox. Unlike some companies, Mozilla never bundles other things with the stub or full setup for Windows nor for Mac OSX or Linux versions. If you look below in green box on where it says Systems & Languages link there is the full setup. They just decided to make the stub installer (existed since Firefox 18.0) be the default for the green download button for Windows users. Mozilla still provides the full setup and is easy to find. Personally, I HATE stub installers by any vendor (particularly Adobe or Google) as there is frequently other 'stuff' bundled along with the installation that I'd rather not have or even bother to download in the first place - am more than somewhat disappointed that Mozilla is trying to push out that newest version in this manner. At present, I would advise against upgrading, as I've found the new v38.0 to crash repeatedly since installation (I used the full installer downloaded through FileHippo) this morning. It's a stub installer - a small executable that will initiate, then download and initiate the full installer file for v38.0.
