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!

I thought it did too, but this post says it's different? Maybe they're wrong. I haven't double checked.

I think Firefox works like Chrome does here. Both give me a little notice in the menu that a new version is ready, and Chrome is a little more annoying about it (turns yellow, then red). I need both for work, and I much prefer how Firefox does it.

What I noticed – I turned on my 💻, opened Firefox then Firefox was updating. It was fast. So it hasn't been annoying so far.

The only time I've seen that is if I haven't updated in a super long time (e.g. on my Windows partition, which I use like once/year). If I'm using it normally, it installs in the background and I get the new version when I relaunch it. I primarily use macOS (work) and Linux (home), so I guess it's possible my occasional Windows experience is how things normally go, but I think that's a special case for when FF is so out of date that it's unsafe to get without patches.
