Probably. Never seen anything like that on Windows or macOS.

I get 'Firefox needs to restart' all the time on MacOS.

Right, but it doesn't auto-update and kill your session.

Yeah it does. It might be possible to disable it though but as far as I'm aware it's enabled by default.

No, it prompts first.

It is a preference you can set.

It is a preference. I’m not sure what the default is, but the recommended is to have it done without prompting.

… Firefox on my work macOS is presently has an emblem on the hamburger menu, and if you open the menu: "Update available — restart now". I've been delaying for days? weeks? at this point.

Clicking it causes the browser to disappear for ~20 seconds, +10s for the UI to become available.

Never once in my experience, and I haven't configured it otherwise.

Whenever firefox on Windows at work starts to act flaky (won't let me open a new tab, stutters, locks up for a while) it's probably going to update when I close it down in frustration and open it again.
