It seems that within the past month or so, Firefox gained the ability
to detect if a dependency has been updated.  If so, it insists on
restarting.  I presume this is to stop using the old, buggy, and
insecure shared libraries that have been updated.

Firefox restores its windows when it restarts so it’s not a big deal
for me.
