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!

It matters more when you clear history and cookies automatically at close. You lose your entire session.
Then… don’t do that? You can clear history and cookies manually really easily, so if you restart your browser less often than Firefox releases updates (every 4 weeks), you’re just opening yourself up to hacks by running an insecure browser.
Huh? I restart firefox multiple times a day, I was simply trying to point out that if you have automated updates and automatic clears of browsing data enabled you’ll run into this. I’m not about to start doing so manually just because the browser restarts itself.
You can have automatic updates without automatic restarts. I have automatic updates on my work Mac and it never restarts itself. My other computers are Linux, so I control when those get updates.
You can automate linux updates, and this can be enforced through your organization. So, no, it is not always in the users control, like in the case of having unattended upgrades in linux enabled with enterprise software.
