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!
Go to options. Scroll halfway down the page. Firefox gives you the choice to change updates from automatic to whenever you want.
I prefer automatic updates.
Apparently, you don’t.
I don’t like when it chooses to auto update. Its a very minor but annoying annoyance
Would you prefer:
“Firefox Updater
This app is preventing shutdown”
You shut your PC down?
My laptop won’t charge from USB-C if the battery fully dies, so I shut it down to prevent that.
I got a X570 board with the really loud fan.
Instead of sleep mode, I think they meant.
huh?
Huh what?
well what did they mean?
They meant - it seems unusual to shut the computer all the way down on a regular basis instead of just using sleep mode most of the time.

There is a comment below where someone posted a picture of the settings. Clearly it is insanely easy to make Firefox update in whatever way you want: automatic, manually, automatically in the background.
OP completely ignored facts and only wants their moment to stand on a soap box with their stupid and lazy complaint.
Ubuntu has an even better approach. It updates silently while you are using it. Then your tab crashes. And when you retry it tells you to restart firefox. Truly genius *cheffs kiss
The better approach would be to prepare the update in the background and swap out the version on the next start
Isn’t that what it does? That’s how it works on macOS, and I get prompted to restart on Linux when I install updates in the background.
You guys close your browser? Weird
You’ve not used it on linux I guess. Update at some random point in time while you use it. Now I understand why it does it, but it’s just horrible terrible unforgivable.
The flatpak version updates in the background, doesn’t interrupt if its already running, and is immediately on the latest version the next time you run firefox.
Shouldn’t it update exactly when you want on Linux, because it’s done by your package manager?
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.
