Getting Firefox refreshed after package update

Making moves

Hi folks!

I saw with Firefox 141, the fork server is enabled on Linux.

It says in the release notes, that using fork server we have to main benefits: less memory consumption, and no close-and-open-again when we got an update over package manager.

I use Firefox on Ubuntu with the official APT repository (so it's a non-Snap version), and after I got an update, a minor one, like 141.0.3, or the major one, like 142, the .deb package is updated, but there is no change in the version, at least according with the about page.

Did I do anything wrong? Should I enable a flag or press some key to reload Firefox without closing-and-opening-again the browser screen?

Thanks!
