Readit NewsBesides some access modes you can rename files in use. I did even bothered and tried on firefox.exe I'm typing this - it works fine.
On Mac and Linux it's less complicated which is why they never get the "download the new version" prompt, but Chrome and Firefox have evolved systems for managing how these silent updates work. On Chrome the update button you talk talking about means you haven't closed the browser in awhile. If you see green that means an update has been available for 2 days, orange – 4 days and red – 7 or more days.
My guess is that you are encountering a situation in which the Chrome background helper can't successfully run the update process and then asks you to download the whole thing again so they don't need to rely on the updater and can just move your user files over.
Maybe you don’t care about trees and animals. Global economic degrowth is gonna happen anyway as ports flood and countries lack the resources to tackle the project of rebuilding the backbone of the current global economic system.

So look at this story as another alarm bell. You and your family are going to be directly impacted by global warming. Asking for a happier story doesn’t change anything. It’s time to grow up and accept we put off dealing with this and it blew up in our faces.
We can either willingly engage in economic degrowth with some say in how it happens or we have a global recession/depression and all the chaos and social upheaval that comes with it. It’s bad, lots of people are going to lose their jobs and communities are going to collapse. That’s gonna happen regardless. Pretending it’s not doesn’t do anything.
I’m probably going to lose my job in that scenario but that’s the price of humanity being selfish and putting the problem off. At least with some extreme action now we can tell future generations “we tried something after waiting too long”.
I understand that he's building a usable service and just trying to git 'er done, but it's a lot of hacks, so I'm glad they're documented in this here blogpost.
I hope that he can continually probe the edges to find out when real IPv6 support becomes available, and can gradually remove the hacks for a purer experience.
My hope is folks know of workarounds and I’ll do them and update the post.
It's also maddening to present the issue as "our time is expensive and your time is free". If your field is unable to commit any work at all to updates, fine. UBI Micro is as small as its gonna get and moves everything difficult to the host. That could conceivably run for 15 years if you are careful with how you build it.
It doesn’t make the news cause it’s a hobby os that was made important when we decided the size of the container mattered most.

From Mozilla: On Windows, it is not possible to remove or rename files and directories which are being used. In order to handle this, we need to add a little complexity.
The Firefox executable will launch a helper application copied to somewhere outside of the installation directory, most likely the system's temporary directory. The helper application renames the existing installation directory to a new directory with ".tmp" appended to its path name. If the rename operation fails in the middle of the operation because of a file being open by another application, it reverts the change.
