Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0

Steps to reproduce:

I am using Firefox on Kubuntu Linux, installed using snap. I start Firefox and use it.

Actual results:

Sometimes in the background an update of the snap package is performed. If so, Firefox forces me to restart losing all current logins.

This happens even if I manually run "sudo snap refresh" before starting Firefox (which tells me that there are no updates).

Expected results:

Firefox should ask me if I want to perform the upgrade, warning that this will force a restart losing all active logins. There should be an option to delay the upgrade.

Additionally, running snap refresh manually should fetch those upgrades.

This is 100% a snap-level issue, nothing to do with the packaging.
