The add-on hotfix is a tool used to ship changes to Firefox users that can't be distributed under the normal update mechanism. Examples of this are configuration changes that don't justify a point release, or changes that need to be pushed to users in older versions of Firefox.
Hotfix updates are automatically pushed to all Firefox users (starting from version 11).
