Super minor QoL update but I am all here for it!!
Was about to make the very same comment! That's awesome to me! So many times I've held an update to Firefox, while updating the rest of the system, just because I wasn't ready to restart my browser. This is great.
It says package managers but I don't remember seeing any forced restarts with flatpak. I just now updated Firefox but it doesn't force anything. I just won't be using the new version before restarting it.
I don't remember it happening with system packages either on my system but it's been quite a while since I've updated that one.
With flatpak updates, new tabs usually show a message that the browser needs to be restarted, or that something failed, I don’t remember exactly. At least that’s what happens on my machine.
