hi, I have a bit of an issue, which I'll try to explain my situation first. Thing is, I mainly use ethernet (because I need to), but a tiny piece of my laptop's casing fell off, so now the ethernet cable isn't fixed, and easily disconnects from small movements. It rarely happens, I mostly avoid it, but not always. I could be using wi-fi, but that has it's own random disconnect issues (which I'll probably try to fix in the future, but that's not what this question is about)

my question is, if the disconnection happens in the middle of extension updates (they have auto updates enabled), will that break the update/the extension itself? Do I need to worry about that? Or will it cancel and fully restart the update? Does it make sure that everything stays not broken, in situations like that?

it would be great to know this about browsers in general (since I occasionally use some others), but I understand this is a Firefox forum, so I don't demand answers for that.

Обране рішення

asked some experienced people and got it figured out: Firefox is designed to handle random disconnects. The browser will try to download the update fully and check the file before actually installing it. If a download fails, it’ll try again later. It’s a common step for applications in general, not just web-browsers and extensions.
