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.

    Deleted your toolbars? Maybe raise a bug about that in the Firefox bug tracker.

    If you mean tabs then there’s a setting to keep tabs are a restart. Makes restarting less of an issue. I have about 60 tabs open at any one time and haven’t lost one in years over multiple restarts and upgrades.

      I’m on nightly, so it doesn’t really count, but a week ago or so all addons (yes, all 20) were instantly uninstalled (including the “sad to see you go”-screens of some), and once all tabs were closed. With backups I figured out which I needed and reinstalled them, but … pretty annoying.

      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.
