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. ๐ก
Chrome is much better at this, hands down. It has never interrupted me the way Firefox does during updates.
I use it on both Windows and Mac, Iโve never seen this o.o
I've seen it multiple times over the years. Don't know what could be causing this.
In my experience - having 2 different instances (e.g. if you want 2 icons on the taskbar) and one having updated.
Yup! Two different profiles running at the same time. As soon as I update one, I'll update the other one as well to avoid this.
Though whenever I forget, it's a pain!!
I think this could be handled differently. Interrupting the user's work half-way through is such a bad, bad form.

Yup, this is called 'User Error'. User messes it up, User blames the software.
Does Firefox communicate this to the user?
It's very clearly communicated when you install and set it up.
Even in automation updation process, user's work shouldn't be interrupted.
A) this doesn't explain which options will cause workflow halts for updates. B) your own example shows you selecting the non standard option.
