I just had this popup on my unattended computer. I don't often use Firefox and I certainly haven't started it since the last several reboots. Here I thought Firefox was supposed to be the one browser that doesn't do shenanigans like "be running in the background when no one asked for it"
@avdi Mozilla’s people believe keeping Firefox patched without the user having to think about it is the right default for almost every install. Running a background process was, on balance, the least bad way to accomplish that.
@irvingreid@avdi i agree with the sentiment pf the original post, and this. Folks would rarely ever update if it worked like most apps, and asked you if you wanted to download install and restart now.
