Why does Firefox Developer Edition advise me to restart to install updates, but after restarting, it prompts me to do the same (Linux)

Hi, I'm running an Ubuntu 16.04, have updated the "browser.sessionstore.interval" to 30000. I read that root being owner of the firefox directory was causing this, I ran $ sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /usr/bin/firefox and my user is currently the owner of the stock ffox version directory and the developer edition directory (I installed it with the Ubuntu Make method, as seen from the askubuntu thread) Any input would be highly appreciated.

Best Regards

You can consider to install Firefox in your home directory (~/firefox) if you want to be able to update Firefox easily.

You can find the full version of the current Developer Edition version in all languages and all operating systems here:
