Shouldn't it update exactly when you want on Linux, because it's done by your package manager?
Would installing Firefox on winget solve OPs problem, assuming they are on Windows?
Not likely. Windows doesn’t like modifying open files, so the installer would probably request you close Firefox. Linux will happily change the in-use files underneath the browser, Firefox notices and prompts you to restart the browser when you open a new tab.
