And it seemed that you don't understand how Firefox receive delta 
updates. You were NOT talking about Firefox delta update, but 
downloading of files including Firefox's offline installer.

Users of Firefox does NOT check hashes. They just hit the Updaste button 
within Firefox and trust the delta update process.

Did you read the subject? Do you know what delta update means?
