I just wanted to find out if there is some way to disable the forced loading of the "What's New" page when Firefox updates. It would be better if this didn't open in a tab or browser window at all, similar to how apps like Discord display when the program has automatically updated. If that's not possible, maybe not opening the "What's New" tab as the first screen that the user interacts with would be less of a time draw.

Sometimes I just want to get to a site quickly and having to load the "What's New" page causes browser load/user interaction times to slow down.

You can prevent anything opening after updates by going to about:config in the address bar and change browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone to ignore.
