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
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.
Yup, this is called ‘User Error’. User messes it up, User blames the software.
It’s very clearly communicated when you install and set it up.
- × Allow Firefox to automatically install updates (recommended)
- ✔ Check for updates but let you choose to install them.
- × Use a background service to install updates.
