I did? Oh good. I don't care if Firefox isn't updated until I restart it. I just don't want that terrible workflow: Click update all.

When I am ready to close Firefox it'll be updated next time I use it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago (1 child) Did I explicitly state that I was aware of how this worked in my original comment?
