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. ๐Ÿ˜ก

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

You should be able to replicate it with:

  • Ubuntu 20.04 container
  • Install Firefox from a deb earlier than 120.0.1(current in repo)
  • Open a few tabs and navigate to various web apps
  • apt update, upgrade
  • Once update completes, open new tab and navigate somewhere, you'll get this message

Not sure if it actually happens with each update, but it seems so to me.
