--- Comment #3 from Harald Sitter <sit...@kde.org> ---
I am saying that when you update firefox that may pull in an update on libssl
and that may break the already running plasmashell because of how plugins and
lazy loading works in modern systems. That is why all updates coming out of
packagekit are performed offline. Conversely all updates to flatpak or snaps
are performed online as those can at most break the app itself - they are
self-contained applications.

The use cases here are:
A) You can enable offline updates to perform safe updates without side effects
(since they are performed in a minimally safe environment)
B) You can disable offline updates and operate in YOLO mode but get away
without reboot (things may randomly break in all sorts of fun ways until
reboot)

Switching between the two is really just option B) since you won't know that
your not-self-contained firefox upgrade isn't going to break things.
