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.

        Yeah, I know when I update Firefox with pamac that when I next open it it’s going to need to update. It takes 3 seconds and restores my open tabs afterwards. It’s really not so bad.

          Not likely. Windows doesn’t like modifying open files, so the installer would probably request you close Firefox. Linux will happily change the in-use files underneath the browser, Firefox notices and prompts you to restart the browser when you open a new tab.

      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.
