Details

In bug 2046862 we disabled the feature because it was breaking badly users, but there is rationale for having this feature.
I suspect we would need to augment https://searchfox.org/enterprise-main/rev/71621ae4be192aa8fbdedcb0d1209b054874978d/toolkit/mozapps/update/UpdateService.sys.mjs#7463-7470 and make it verify from felt if browser is showing any window.

RestartOnLastWindowClosed handling on macOS benefits from the fact that a process can run without a window, and when it is the case, RestartOnLastWindowClosed can take the opportunity to finish updates and perform a restart. This did not play well with FELT.
