Update still fails on latest update but cannot collect requested doc - what is actually happening is that Firefox is actually restarted but update does not happen and "Help/About Firefox" remains with "Restart to Update Firefox" message. When other instance of Firefox is stopped, then update succeeds.

This sounds like a variant of Bug 1941931 - certainly stopping Firefox and restarting it would allow the update to work in my case

Thanks for filing a bug. You do seem to have correctly identified that this is almost certainly Bug 1941931. I will dup it to that one.
