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.

It's a technical limitation why Firefox has to force the restart.

If you're not on Linux (or using a build with auto-updater anyways), then the only way to stop this is to turn off auto-updates.
However, it will still notify of new updates and then you can decide when to do the update: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1448482
