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!

My issue with FF's auto update is that the behavior is how painfully the auto-update works with multiple profiles.

I'll have one window (well three) open for some (measurable in days) time.

  1. FF updates silently, I haven't restarted my browser so I haven't noticed.
  2. I go to open a session in the second (or third profiles)
  3. FF decides now is a great time to apply the update, after all it just opened right?
  4. All the existing open browsing sessions in the other profiles get bricked. The tabs just stop responding, no browsing works, just dead in the water.

I have to shut it (all?) down to get it working again.

I don't know how Chrome handles this so I cannot compare. TBH still worth using FF over that adware!
