Granted, keeping your apps up to date is important, and this new system will help get that across to users. But we’re not sure annoying the hell out of the user about it is the best strategy.

      I’m not near my computer to confirm right now, but I think I installed it manually from the tar file. I think there was an issue with the flatpak version on Pop!_OS, but I can’t remember what, since it has been years since I originally encountered it. I can confirm tomorrow if you want.

      It’s weird that someone downvoted your question. I upvoted it to put it back at one. Idk why people downvote questions so often on this platform.

        Firefox flatpak version had a lot issues. It has improved a lot, still a long way to go.

        I have exclusively used Firefox flatpak for the last year and updates has been quite smooth. Never had my session closed automatically(to my memory) due to an update, usually waits for me close the session and when I reopen its updated.

        My experience is limited to Ubuntu.
