With flatpak updates, new tabs usually show a message that the browser needs to be restarted, or that something failed, I don’t remember exactly. At least that’s what happens on my machine.
I know I've seen that on Windows and I think on Linux before, but I did a test when writing that post where I updated and then opened a new tab and even a new instance of Firefox and it didn't bother me about restarting. Weird
You need a few new tabs in the same instance, until it tries to start a new process. I can usually keep using ff for half an hour before running into it.
