On Windows it downloads the updater in the background and then executes it when you next restart Firefox. (At least, as far as I can tell)

- masklinn 4y agoYes, but that's because it's updated by firefox itself. If you install, say, FDE directly on linux, you'll get the same behaviour. But if you use the distro's package manager then I don't think there's a viable workflow for it, as the package manager doesn't have hooks into process management. The package manager would probably have to be subsumed by systemd for that to even be feasible.
