Firefox Update

Hello

I'm not an IT expert so any responses, although appreciated, should be in simple English please. Is it possible to set a time on my PC, for updates to the Firefox browser to be installed? If my PC is left on, after every update (which are regular), it takes ages to boot up my PC and get many windows reopened and working. It really is a massive inconvenience and getting annoying. Whereas when Windows wants to update, I can ask it to do it at a convenient time for myself, when my PC is shut down or I'm not using it or got numerous windows open, with unfinished work. Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.

The browser updates as updates become available for Firefox and depends on what version your using at the time. If it takes that long to restart you got more problems and isn't related to the browser.
