Noticed that opening a link from Thunderbird when there is a staged update will cause Firefox to update itself instead of opening the link in the existing Firefox instance.

  1. Set Firefox as default browser
  2. Wait for an update to be downloaded
  3. Click on a link in Thunderbird

What happens:

Firefox updater appears, updates Firefox - the URL does not open.

Expected result:

Link opens directly, Firefox is not updated.
