Firefox on Mac. I have this problem as well, even with "autoupdate" set to true. Also, if I am browsing in the middle of an auto update, it refuses to open new tabs. And each update logs me out of my password manager Worse, now this is happening to Thunderbird. Wasn't an issue until about a month ago. Now I need to re-install Thunderbird every few weeks because they've pushed an update. When from my point of view, as a user, I haven't seen a new feature which I truly wanted in over 5 years, maybe more like 10.

That sounds truly horrible. I've only recently returned to Mac OS as primary OS (one reason being annoyed by Ubuntu and FF) but why aren't you using Safari and Mail.app then if I may ask?

I use FF on Mac OS and have never seen it refuse to operate due to an update. It will sometimes popup a dialog letting me know there is an update but I can dismiss it. I tend to check for updates every couple of weeks, anyway. The update process is mostly painless though it does restart the browser. That is probably a good thing anyway. Most updates I get when I do update the browser for other reasons and it installs and update as it is restarting.
