I find it incredibly disruptive every time this page comes up and it's never completely capable of restoring my tabs. Is there any way to disable it so that it will instead update when I choose to restart Firefox?

Are you on Ubuntu/using a snap installed Firefox?

Oh, I am sorry

Weird. I’ve never seen that on my Macs. I always have to click on “About Firefox” to check for and download any updates so it only updates when I do that.

There's also the menu icon, which let's you know there's a new version and you should update.

I've never had Firefox update without my consent on macOS or Linux.
