Update Firefox from Terminal using Ubuntu standard repository Whether you have chosen to install Firefox updates manually, or Firefox is failing to install an update, you can always use the commands mentioned below to update Firefox from the terminal on Ubuntu and other Debian based distros. For this reason, or for avoiding unnecessary downloads every once a while, users might turn off the auto-update feature, and instead, choose to update Firefox manually. To make things worse, Firefox even forces the user to restart the browser to continue using it. Most of the time, users have to restart Firefox to complete the update. However, the automatic updates feature in Firefox isn’t as convenient as it sounds. It automatically downloads updates and installs them without requiring a fresh install of Firefox, similar to app updates on your iOS and Android devices.
Mozilla Firefox has a popular feature for background updates.
