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!

Huh? I restart firefox multiple times a day, I was simply trying to point out that if you have automated updates and automatic clears of browsing data enabled you'll run into this. I'm not about to start doing so manually just because the browser restarts itself.

    You can have automatic updates without automatic restarts. I have automatic updates on my work Mac and it never restarts itself. My other computers are Linux, so I control when those get updates.

    You can automate linux updates, and this can be enforced through your organization. So, no, it is not always in the users control, like in the case of having unattended upgrades in linux enabled with enterprise software.
