When Firefox is ready to force use of a new update, it displays in a tab a message:
"Sorry. We just need to do one small thing to keep going. Firefox has just been updated in the background. Click Restart Firefox to complete the update. We will restore all your pages, windows and tabs afterwards, so you can be on your way quickly."
However when I am using multiple profiles concurrently, after I click on the "Restart Firefox" button, a window for the profile that received the message does not get restarted after it has been closed and the update for that profile activated. Instead the profile has to be restarted manually as do all of the tabs that were open at the time in that profile. (Note: I typically get this message one profile at a time. The other open profiles are not immediately effected.)
I expected that Firefox would restore the one window for the profile that was closed and restore all of the tabs to their previous URL, if not their previous state.
Most recently this happened to me as Firefox started updating from 67.0.2 to 67.0.3, but it has been a problem with earlier versions as well.
Unfortunately, because this is initiated by the availability of a new Firefox update, I do not have instructions on how to reproduce this problem on demand.
