Twice now in the past couple of months this has happened to me:

Restart to Keep Using Firefox

An update to Firefox started in the background. You’ll need to restart to finish the update.

Your windows and tabs will be quickly restored, but private ones will not.


EVEN THOUGH in my Firefox settings this is set to no automatic updates.

What is happening?? How do I turn this off! This seems like a virus? Please advise.

On Windows, Firefox should honor the setting to let you choose when to download the next update. The only glitch I noticed was if I'm working with a second profile, sometimes an auto-update is triggered in the second profile even though it has the same setting. This has been happening for a few months now, but I haven't filed a bug report for it.
