Firefox will sometimes stop me from making a new tab and force me to update, is there a way to bypass this screen? Just to be clear I don't want to remove auto-updates, just stop it from forcing me.

Today I was writing something and it made me update. Meaning I had to stop working on the thing I was writing so I could close the browser. Then when it updated it deleted all my toolbars whyyyyyy.

If you mean tabs then there's a setting to keep tabs are a restart

That's never worked for me. If I close FF and reopen its starts fresh with.noting open. If I close the OS, and restart only then does FF reopen all the tabs.

I am currently on LMDE but the same process happened when I was on Windows 10 and Linux Mint . I have the setting selected to restore previous open tabs but it's just never worked across many years, many updates and multiple OS's.

Strange. Works for me running Ubuntu on two different laptops. 🤷
