Is there a way to disable the "Restart to Keep Using Firefox" page? - Lemmy

I find it incredibly disruptive every time this page comes up and it’s never completely capable of restoring my tabs. Is there any way to disable it so that it will instead update when I choose to restart Firefox?

Are you on Ubuntu/using a snap installed Firefox?

Do not worry, for they have fallen like many of our siblings; yet they are in a better place than some, like windows users.

You’ve got it backwards. Of the two, Windows is closer to the open source ethos. Apple is a total control freak. Obviously both are bad, though.

At least MacOS is more Unix-like. So yes, in nearly everything important to a Linux user except CLI-UX (Command line interface user experience, nice word lol) Mac is worse than Windows somewhat, but as I would see the CLI-UX as one of the most important things (in my workflow, which is based on Linux tho), Max would be better than Windows. But of course, both are trash.

Weird. I’ve never seen that on my Macs. I always have to click on “About Firefox” to check for and download any updates so it only updates when I do that.

There’s also the menu icon, which let’s you know there’s a new version and you should update.

I’ve never had Firefox update without my consent on macOS or Linux.
