The issue isn’t time, it’s that I’m in the middle of working, I have unsaved work that I can’t save now bec the browser decided to update in the background.
Sounds like a nothing burger. Firefox allows you to restore tabs. And you can turn off automatic updates. Seriously don’t understand where you are facing this issue. Every commercial grade software allows you to customise your workflow.
I've seen tab restoration fail after those automatic updates, and even when the tabs do restore that doesn't mean that the actual state is preserved. Work is interrupted, and it's a burger full of crap when it happens.
Never faced a tab restoration failure. I have used ff in Linux, Mac OS, windows. Managing updates, or page states, or tabs, never had an issue. And never felt needed special extensions to manage anything.
This definitely look like an issue with your own setup.
But If you did face issues, you can always file a bug.
You can restore the URLs but you don't get page state, that draft you couldn't save because Firefox suddenly stopped loading new pages? Completely gone.
The point is that this is poor default user experience, and it should not be this way.
