When firefox is running when being upgraded, then if you open a new tab, a restart button appears instead of the rendered page. If you click it now it just kills firefox and never restart it. The same similar fix is applied on openbsd... The patch probably does not apply any more and given the maintainers did not show any interest I will not update it. Bapt
