No, Fedora package manager (dnf) does the sane thing and not replaces app files from under the running apps by default - google "dnf offline upgrades".

And for Windows there is standard update mechanism - Microsoft Store - which also does the same sane thing.

So it's Ubuntu implementation problem, and not a Firefox one.

>dnf offline upgrades

Do I understand correctly that it is based on systemd's offline upgrade mode, i.e. installation is done at the following boot? If so, you can do that on Ubuntu too. I'm not sure how (perhaps by invoking apt-offline?), but at least KDE Discover does it on Kubuntu.
