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. ๐Ÿ˜ก

Chrome is much better at this, hands down. It has never interrupted me the way Firefox does during updates.

If you are okay with trusting an extension, I use Tab Session Manager, it takes snapshots of all your open windows and tabs, and it can restore them when, for example, you forget to restore the previous session before closing Firefox, and overwrite the previous session of dozens of tabs, with the current session that you don't care about.

I usually just rely on the built-in restore, but having the backup just in case is such a relief to have on those occasions when "reload last session" is grayed out.

Awesome! Thanks so much, this sounds exactly like what I need. I really appreciate you letting me know about this.
