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. 😡

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

    Well, you are right and I hate this too.

    However - why can’t you choose your own time to update your system with all packages? That’s on Linux, and Windows has suffering embedded in its license agreement anyway, even if this bit of it isn’t from MS.

    Also its current UI is what I hate much more. Why could they not make it look like FF 3 at least is beyond me. It was good , usable, and it also carries an element of brand continuity, loyalty if you wish.

    I understand why XUL had to go … well, not really, they didn’t have to reinvent C for multithreading, and just like that FF developers didn’t have to abolish XUL in its entirety for having separate threads for separate tabs and the UI.

    Actually I also hate the fact of them abolishing XUL instead of changing it into something incompatible but just as powerful.
