The fact that firefox updates when I open it instead of when I close it. Has to be the most annoying feature ever. (lemy.lol)

I mean like why? Just open and update when I'm done that's what every other browser does. Stop making me wait to use the Internet firefox!

Yes, it's done by the package and when you configure it to, which in practice is right now.

Actually, that's one of the things Ubuntu got right with Snap (hate is as much as you want). They install the new version in the background without interrupting your flow. The next time, you close Firefox and choose to open it again....tada... it's the new version.

I think Flatpak does that too, no?
