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.

Does Firefox communicate this to the user?

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.

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.
