Is there a way to disable the "Restart to Keep Using Firefox" page? (lemmy.ml)

I find it incredibly disruptive every time this page comes up and it's never completely capable of restoring my tabs. Is there any way to disable it so that it will instead update when I choose to restart Firefox?

On Linux at least, if you install through the package manager, it'll only update when you update the rest of your packages. And you can be completely in control of when that happens.

On my work Mac, I just update manually. The menu icon tells me when a new version is available, so I update within a day or two of that popping up.

Except on Ubuntu. Also, fuck snaps

Ew, those get installed via the regular package manager?

Don't use Ubuntu then...

Ubuntu installs the snap version by default whether you're using the GUI software manager or apt.

I use Mint instead nowadays

Damn, computers have gotten really far if nowadays we're happily throwing away the performance of dockerizing ˜everything on entirely normal application installs. Sigh.

Sucks when the company I work in uses Kubuntu.

I could disable this feature easily. But idk...

Additionally something to keep in mind: Better than Windows in every aspect. I would still use Kubuntu. Its fine.
