In any given day, I have 5 to 15+ browser windows open with various tools or cloud based software, databases. along with researching sites.

Like today, I try to open and type in a new window and I get the famous "Firefox is updated you must restart" All my windows are closed, I loose everything I had opened.

if you are forcing me to "restart" can you not have it reopen my existing webpages/ URLs? I understand that it cannot log me in. However, if I had websites for research open at least I would not forget which ones I had open. Even microsoft will reopen or at least tell me to save my information, etc. before upgrading.

System Details: Macbook Pro (2021) 16 inch Apple M1 Pro macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

1. I downloaded the latest Firefox from Mozilla official website, installed the app, made sure I can see the Firefox app in my applications. I start using the app. 2. Everything will be fine for a few days (say 1 week or 10 days) and one fine day, the browser stops working. Even google.com doesn't open. 3. I quit Firefox and try to re-start it. I cannot find Firefox in my system. It just disappeared. I cannot find in my applications. The search doesn't show Firefox.

I re-install by going back to step #1

This has happened not one time but many times. I searched if others have this issue but did not find anything that i could use. Hence posting this question here.

I have Firefox installed on a lot of other Macbook pros in my home, no other system has this issue. I don'ty understand what is happening. Just wanted to get some guidance in resolving this issue.

Thanks _Krishna
