I just wish Firefox updates weren't so intrusive. Having it hit me with "Firefox updated in the background, restart to continue using Firefox" while I'm trying to use QuickBooks for my job is so disruptive when QuickBooks doesn't save automatically and never opens back up to where I left it off. I won't go back to Chrome, but I never had it pull that sort of forced restart on me.

You can disable that. I have mine set to notify me when updates are available

I’m happy that they give an option but goddamn would it kill them to have the safe option as the default for once?

There are lots of people who will never update if asked to update at their leisure. I think it's far better for user security to have updates be forced by default, with the option to schedule them yourself.

Or batch update some of your apps with Patch My PC Home Updater
