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.
I use it on both Windows and Mac, I’ve never seen this o.o
Yup, this is called ‘User Error’. User messes it up, User blames the software.
Does Firefox communicate this to the user?
It’s very clearly communicated when you install and set it up.
Even in automation updation process, user’s work shouldn’t be interrupted.
A) this doesn’t explain which options will cause workflow halts for updates. B) your own example shows you selecting the non standard option.
I’ve seen it multiple times over the years. Don’t know what could be causing this.

In my experience - having 2 different instances (e.g. if you want 2 icons on the taskbar) and one having updated.
Yup! Two different profiles running at the same time. As soon as I update one, I’ll update the other one as well to avoid this.
Though whenever I forget, it’s a pain!!
I think this could be handled differently. Interrupting the user’s work half-way through is such a bad, bad form.
I hate the way paint.net does it. It tells you there’s an update and that it can do it after you close the program. Cool! So I finish what I’m doing, close paint.net, it updates and then it automatically starts up again. Why? I just closed you, you dummy!
Interesting! It’s been ages since last time I used paint.net on a daily basis. Yeah, that would get on my nerves after a while too.
It’s after an update, since the update might change used files.
