I think Firefox is probably the best browser on the internet. But one major flaw that has always been with it but has never been fixed is that unlike other browsers, Firefox updates on startup. It may only take a few moments, but it's not very pleasant for the user to wait even a few moments for the browser to launch. It seems better to either update in a separate process like other browsers, or at least give the user the option to decide to update at startup or in the background like other browsers.

Hello

Enable background updates on Firefox for Windows when Firefox is not running https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-background-updates-firefox-windows

Select About Firefox on the left. The About Firefox settings panel will open
