Just as in #ubuntu, #firefox in #macos piles up pending updates & eventually just fails to start. This never happens under #nixos
Funnily: I first tried #nixos precisely to see if I could avoid having to kill firefox PIDs in #ubuntu to make my machine behave. 😆. Lovely to see even #macos suffers from 'not being as good as nixos' for controlling the morasse of incessant update processes flooding the OS every day & calming the pop-up storm. Hope firefox does not fix this because great nixOS advert
