Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
When update-manager updates firefox any running instances of firefox will usually be left in an unusable state:
* no new windows or tabs van be opened,
* parts of the user interface will stop responding,
* when quitting firefox it will quit instantly quit instead of asking whether any open tabs should be saved.
I find the third point very annoying, especially that it is the only course of action one can takes given the first two. Perhaps update-manager could just kill firefox before updating, so any open tabs can be recovered when it is restarted after the update.
