Firefox 120 to Firefox 141 Web Browser Benchmarks

Firefox has the worst update process. Idk how they haven’t figured this out yet, but the fact that I regularly get “restart to finish update and continue browsing” when opening new tabs or links is totally unacceptable. Also the fact that it can’t just update in the background and still requires me to manually accept a UAC prompt is crazy. Especially bec sometimes if you don’t accept the prompt… you can’t open Firefox until you allow it to finish updating. So you don’t really have a choice but to update to the latest.

I've only ever seen this happen with the Linux package-manager-type process where the update might happen "underneath" the browser without its knowledge. Using their built-in upgrade system as far as I know it just happens only on browser restart... but I guess I haven't used it on Windows in a long time.

I don't think I have ever run into it on Windows, but I have seen it pretty much every time I update it on Linux through the package manager.
