You are talking about protecting the user from a potential application crash after an update. But you forget to tell us that
It's usually not a crash, Firefox is just malfunctioning. So
Don't forget that there are a lot systems where users never log off or where other important processes have to run 24/7. These systems are IMO the more important ones.
Agreed, rebooting is not the solution (except for kernel updates ;-)
BTW firefox is really a bad example to satisfy offline updates because usually it is malfunctioning very often in cause of many other reasons. So no user would wonder about it. Or "help" your users by doing ... $ killall -11 firefox ... still less annoying than asking them for reboot.
*lol*
Some mails up, I read that ubuntu ships a firefox extension that asks the user to restart firefox after an update. Couldn't we just "steal" this extension? ;-)
I've looked into that extension years ago. It relies on some apt/dpkg feature though. ... and looking into the current version ... It's working differently now and we might be able to "fork" that code and add it to our openSUSE extension. It is some hours work though to adapt (extract and integrate) it to our extension. I'm not sure when I'll have time for that. If anyone with some knowledge about JavaScript and Mozilla Addons would like to give it a try I'll happily help as far as I can.
