IIRC there is an upstream report on this.

Sorry but Firefox-3.0 has reached EOL and will not receive updates can you please test with Firefox-3.5 from our repos. ** Package changed: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) => firefox-3.5 (Ubuntu) -- MASTER Misbehaves in all sorts of ways when upgraded while running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 36739] Re: MASTER Misbehaves in all sorts of ways when upgraded while running
also Chris suggestion number 2) is also worth considering. The idea would be to schedule package upgrades during restart; however, i don't think its a good idea to proceed in this direction as it would certainly lead to an overall lower package quality in the long run as it would be considered OK to require restart after upgrades when designing packages/applications. -- MASTER Misbehaves in all sorts of ways when upgraded while running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 36739] Re: MASTER Misbehaves in all sorts of ways when upgraded while running
Quick status update. Good news is that we have made progress. The light bulb is really something that never worked good enough; we improved the situation through ubufox. We disaplay a "restart notification bar" on top if you upgrade while running. Hitting the restart button usually works. Unfortunately there are still cases where even that restart button doesn't work. So its not yet the complete solution. One idea to continue from here would probably be to set firefox into some kind of upgrade mode from outside (maybe through dbus or otherwise through XRemoteClient facility) when a system upgrade starts. This mode would not load new chrome or components that are not in memory yet and instead could ask the user to wait (till upgrade has finished) and finally restart (after upgrade has finished).

I think it's fair to say that the "lightbulb" notification is not working well enough. It's good for people who notice this sort of thing, but it's not something that's immediately obvious, and it doesn't scream for attention if it's initially ignored. IMHO there are two options for making this experience more user friendly: 1) Running firefox instances notice that they have been upgraded (either by monitoring their chrome directory, or being fed some signal. The former seems more robust in a multi-user world) and display very stern warnings to the user that they really really should click a button which causes firefox to restart itself as it would have if it had been upgraded via its own internal mechanism. Obviously the chrome for this would need to be made resistant somehow, so it wasn't wiped out when the upgrade happens. This is either an upstream issue, or something we would have to do. Do they ever have to care about this instance in Windows? If firefox can be deployed as a system-wide app rather than per-user, they must do. 2) Firefox updates should only be applied while restarting the computer (obviously the infrastructure for doing this does not yet exist, but I think I've seen some talk about doing more updates in this way, when they are fundamentally incompatible with being performed while people are logged in). This would require no effort from upstream, but would require a pretty large change in the way Ubuntu updates work. -- MASTER Misbehaves in all sorts of ways when upgraded while running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
