Meanwhile on Windows: "That's just my antivirus. Yeah... I won't be very productive for the next 20 minutes."
It's a real problem. I think there's a Firefox bug where Firefox will freeze while checking for updates while the CPU is under heavy load.
It's fucked-up that Firefox even checks for updates itself (instead of letting the package manager do it) in the first place. It wouldn't have the bug if it didn't have the unnecessary functionality.
Interesting. On which distro? I don't have this problem on Fedora. Here the update check is disabled by default.
In context, my comment was really more about dunking on Windows for not having proper package management. Firefox only "needs" that feature because it's working around Windows' deficiencies.
I'm pretty sure it's disabled on the M$ Store version.
Also, on macOS it's so annoying that literally every app checks for (and even wants to install) updates while I have the Brew package manager installed.
