I've never really had an issue with restarting Firefox, it remembers all my tabs when I restart it either after an update or just a close/open. Perhaps it's a setting I toggled years ago and have since forgotten but I'm not sure what the complaint is about restarting after an update?

Unless there's a private window, which gets lost during these forced restart after updates.

At least for me after FF updates itself it won't let you open a new tab or anything until it restarts. According to this Reddit post this is due to it being updated by the package manger so maybe it's a Linux only issue?: https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/jwx54y/firefox_forcing_to_restart/ https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/jwx54y/firefox_for...

  It's due to the "unattended upgrades" feature. You can blacklist FF from getting those upgrades with a change to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades. Add "firefox" to the "Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist" section. I find manually upgrading much less annoying than having my browser randomly lock up on me.

It remembers the tabs, but it loses my vertical position within the tabs. When reading articles or a thread on some forum, that's quite annoying. Even Pocket doesn't save my progress on a desktop but does on my phone. It's nothing that would make me stop using it, just an annoyance that I wish I didn't have to deal with on a semi-regular basis.
