The fact that firefox updates when I open it instead of when I close it. Has to be the most annoying feature ever. (lemy.lol)

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!

The better approach would be to prepare the update in the background and swap out the version on the next start

Isn't that what it does? That's how it works on macOS, and I get prompted to restart on Linux when I install updates in the background.

I'm on Windows and I don't recall the last time I was inconvenienced by a Firefox update. Like... I can't even remember what it actually does. OP must be running it on a potato or something.

I think they mean when you go to open Firefox (when it updates) it immediately closes and reopens the first time? At least mine does that.

Mine never does, or if it does, it's so fast I don't notice.
