Updates Make Me Restart Immediately

In my Firefox settings I have selected "check for updates but let [me] choose to install them" but Firefox automatically installs updates while I'm using it and immediately requires me to restart the browser. All navigation thereafter returns a page saying I have to restart Firefox to continue.

It's incredibly annoying to have to then sign in to all half dozen or more sites that I was already signed in to. I'm going to have to abandon Firefox if this continues.

Is it a security setting my employer configured? I think I have the same problem at home.

If you leave pending updates for too long they will be installed for you. To minimize disruption, it is better to install them yourself as soon as possible when it is convenient.

Now that I think about it, I never get notices about updates, like I used to.
