Firefox "flashes" 2-3 times when it's launched after update Maybe this is normal and I am just paranoid that something is attached to the browser

Plugins (I have used for years) Malwarebytes Ublock Origin LastPass

Windows 10 Firefox Release 116.0.3

I definitely notice the Firefox window closing and then opening again after launching the browser after an update. I assume this is normal behavior and it's just applying the update, but maybe try taking a video capture with the Windows snipping tool next time you launch Firefox after an update so we can see what you're seeing.
