Firefox updates itself, as on Windows and macOS, not through the distribution's package manager.

myfox refresh

myfox refresh            # in the terminal
myfox refresh --gui      # in a window
myfox refresh -y         # without confirmation
myfox refresh --force    # reinstall every component, even with no new versions

The same is the "Update MyFox" item in the shortcut's context menu.

The dialog shows "current → new" for each component and the list of changes. The full list of changes is on the about:myfox#changelog page in Firefox.

Restart

Updated tweaks apply after Firefox restarts. If Firefox is running, the update dialog has a "Restart Firefox to apply the update" checkbox (on by default; with -y, the restart happens). Windows and tabs are restored.

To restart by hand: the "Restart" item in the shortcut's menu or myfox browser --myfox-restart.
