User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0
Build ID: 20180730100211
Steps to reproduce:
1. Use Firefox Nightly.,
2. Wait until update is available.
3. Start add-on debugger in about:debugging.
Actual results:
See updateinstall.png: Firefox installs updates for itself.
Expected results:
I guess it should not update in this case. First, when the Firefox instance is still open, I guess it may result in files not being writable and thus cause update failures.
Secondly it is unexpected for the user.
And thirdly, the user/dev needs to wait for this in a very unexpected time, so it should not be done at that time.

I manage to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 16.04 x64 with Firefox Nightly 63.0a1 (2018-08-01) (64-bit).
