Firefox browser updates

more options

Whenever the Firefox browser updates, it asks me to close the browser and will not let me open up any new tabs nor update existing tabs without a 'close your browser' message popping up. This is incredibly inconvenient for me. When I'm doing something important, like filling out a form, and it updates. I often have to close the tab that I'm doing something important on and then having to redo EVERYTHING. I would really like it if Firefox would ask or remind me to update instead of force one on me and disabling what I can do with the browser until I do.

It is your distro which is updating its version of Firefox in that manner. You need to direct your issue to it. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

So what you're saying is that my issue is not a Firefox issue, but a Linux issue and that I should contact Linux instead?

No. Your distro is installing Firefox. Mozilla has nothing to do with it.

Maybe your package manager has settings for whether to install Firefox updates automatically or manually. While Firefox has that setting on the Preferences page (assuming your distro doesn't hide it), the package manager doesn't pay attention to Firefox's internal setting.
