Did Firefox Update restart my Windows session?

I left my computer with a number of windows and documents open, some in the midst of making changes. When I returned, my other activity was gone and Firefox said it had just done an automatic update.

Did the Firefox update cancel all the programs I had active?

Did I get any warning that Firefox was going to do an automatic update?

I think no program should do an automatic restart of Windows without the explicit permission of the user. A warning that it will be started automatically in x minutes is not good enough, if the user has left the computer for several hours without recording all that was being worked on. Microsoft Windows does that as well and I think it is a nasty thing to do to users.

Hi there! Firefox does not automatically restart your computer (I don't think applications can even do that). However, Windows does indeed restarts itself for updates, giving you only a few minutes to cancel. Now, IIRC it restarts the apps you had open at the time Windows was shutdown. And one of those apps that was restarted was Firefox, which - because it was restarted - applied an update it had downloaded in the background.

At least that's the best explanation I have. In no way did Firefox restart your Computer though.

Thanks for the information. It looks like I can blame M$ for being so inconsiderate. Again.
