Feedback: Automatic Updates and Forced Browser Restarts

[Aura]

Automatic Updates and Forced Browser Restarts are a bad idea. They can interrupt the browsing experience, and can cause people to lose a lot of text if they are in the process of composing a piece of written work - be that an email or a post on a website or a submission to an online writing challenge or something else - due to automatic updates that start without their permission and then force a browser restart automatically, without giving them a warning they can actually use to save whatever it is they're working on BEFORE Firefox decides to reboot.

This was a bad idea for MicroSoft Windows, and it's a bad idea for Mozilla Firefox.

If you go to Settings and scroll nearly to the bottom you can change "Automatically install updates (recommended)" to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them."
