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 usingโ€”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...

STILL not fixed as of just now. And I have updates disabled because I got so sick of this garbage. I'm slightly relieved to know this is a Known Bug, because I was just about convinced I'd picked up some weird virus along the way. Interestingly, my laptop at home *never* has this issue; but my work computer seems to encounter it at least once a month. And as others have noted, it's enough to make we want to just never update Firefox at all - which I'm sure is not the preferred end goal here.

Hello

Is there a way to temporary bypass updates warnings for the sake of other people's privacy?

Its not that hard come on use your brains, I don't ever let it install updates in the background I will never allow it to download updates automatically I will always make it check then let me install it.

Mozilla should add back the option to discard updates and bring back the ability to disable updates all together.
