Comment 24 for bug 1945697

I was reading my email this morning, right after I had turned my computer on, and I got this notification:

Pending update of "firefox" snap
Close the app to avoid disruptions (14 days left)

And you know what? Firefox did not crash!

This is marvelous! Exactly what I was looking for. Looks like refresh-awareness is what we all need. I finished reading my email, firefox still stable, closed it on my own time, and let it refresh.

Ian, can this feature please be prioritised to move from experimental to snapd core, and can we enable it by default for Jammy? There are going to be a lot of users moving from deb firefox on Focal to snap firefox on Jammy, and these regular snap refreshes are going to impact a lot of people.

I do agree that refresh-awareness is the way to go.
