Public bug reported:
Whenever an update is made available Firefox installs it and then
insists on restarting, losing all work in open tabs, which it is unable
to re-open. This is disruptive, annoying and completely unnecessary, and
seems peculiar to Ubuntu: stock Firefox from Mozilla gives the user
control.
