THE ONE THING that I hate about Firefox. (lemmy.world)

Why can't the devs have it update in the background or on next startup? I was in the middle of my work when I got this. Now I need to close everything and go through all the logins and 2FA again. 😡

Chrome is much better at this, hands down. It has never interrupted me the way Firefox does during updates.

No, I don't have any such updater programs. Firefox and other programs update themselves or show a pop-up saying new version is available.

on Windows that doesn't happen because Firefox updates itself only when you (re)start it.

I always thought it updates itself in the background and asks user to restart browser? Is that not the case here?

Any chance you've got Firefox from MS Store?
