Get rid of the "Restart Required" in Firefox

[istrasci]

Please do not block my browsing session just to force me to restart!  Let me restart when I want to.  For security reasons, I'm almost always browsing in Private Mode, and as such, logins and passwords are not saved.  So when I'm forced to restart because of an update, I have to save my current tab session, reopen them after FF has restarted, and re-login to every site I was using—many of which require 2FA, so it's extra annoying.

This is bad UX!  Put a notification, or even a whole separate tab telling me I need to restart.  But don't block out everything I was doing.  Even Windows doesn't do this...

Is any working solutions yet?

I fully support you frustration this is worse thing in this browser, sometimes I even think to get rid of Firefox and switch to something like Ungoogled Chromium.

Right now i removed all permissions from Updated.exe and hope it will help.

I've posted to this thread before.  I can't believe how long it's taking to get a solution for what is frankly a horrendous blunder of UI design!  As I've said before, feel free to warn and remind me (even loudly) until I restart Firefox, but don't prevent me from continuing to browse.

Last time this happened, I was right in the middle of a purchase, partway through checking out, in fact, and it happened that the process included opening a new tab — which of course rudely and bluntly demanded that I restart Firefox.

I had no choice, but was irked, to say the least.  Thankfully, after restarting, I was still able to complete the purchase.  I don't need the stress of uncertainty though!
