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. 😡

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

    This is a completely ridiculous post.

    To compare spyware Chrome with Firefox is also a sign that there’s something lacking in this thinking processes…

    It seems very obvious to me that this cannot happen unless you specifically choose to update Firefox. Perhaps you have issues with your operating system and don’t understand what you’re doing?

    Windows users usually complain about having a ton of services running in the background, so I’d vote that you’ve opted to allow Firefox to run as a service, so even if you close the browser it’s still running there - and probably set to update automatically too.

    After updating, then you have to restart it, and there aren’t ‘all the logins and 2FA’ unless you chose to do that. After I restart Firefox, my session is returned to me - without ‘all the logins and 2FA’ because I didn’t set stupid protection to make it forget everything and log out of everything when it gets restarted.

    When I update the system, I do it when I’m not busy working - and that means I choose when to update Firefox.

    So it cannot interrupt me without MY permission. Then again, I wouldn’t enable any unattended or automatic updates, my updates are checked when I say they should be, they can be automatically downloaded in the background, but NOTHING gets executed unless I allow it.

    I suggest you learn to get a grip and learn to use your computer - or sit back and play patsy and allow the software giants completely control your life while you sit back whinging.

      But then I wouldn’t complain about losing my work and having to go through login process, would I? Since it would be updated after I’ve closed it, not while I’m using it.

      All this wall of text, you didn’t even consider if your made up scenario makes sense or not.
