THE ONE THING that I hate about Firefox.
(lemmy.world)
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 get something similar to this on Linux all the time and it makes it hard to choose Firefox, as much as I want to try.
I dug around once to try to find out why and how to stop it. The alternative is just straight up crashing, and so they chose to slap up that blank new tab page instead. related bugzilla
Depending on how you've installed it / configured updates, you may just be out of luck whenever an auto update happens and you just have to restart the browser.
It sucks, even if it remembers your tabs, because some of them are inevitably returned in a different state, have to relogin, etc.
