Nevertheless, Firefox demands its own updates, including its
own reboot, whensoever it damn pleases, and won't lift an electronic
finger till it gets its way.
Does this make some esoteric sense that I don't see?
If not, how do I eliminate or take control of its irritating
habit?
It seems that within the past month or so, Firefox gained the ability
to detect if a dependency has been updated. If so, it insists on
restarting. I presume this is to stop using the old, buggy, and
insecure shared libraries that have been updated.
Firefox restores its windows when it restarts so it’s not a big deal
for me.
