that forced restart is probably going to be a huge win for our rolling release brothers and sisters.

Why?

Does one reboot their entire system after updating Firefox on Linux?

I never do. I don’t even restart Firefox after updating, if it is already running.

Clearly you don’t use it often, firefox will force you to restart itself and refuse to render webpages.

I guess I am lucky that it does not refuse to work since it is my default browser across all my machines.

Linux machines?

Because on my Linux machines, once it’s been updated, I can not open a new tab, it’ll tell me to frig off and restart. I can click links in existing tabs, and might’ve been possible to enter a new URL in an existing tab, I don’t recall exactly.

Can you even update Firefox while it’s running if you’re on windows?
