Parent article: Lucky 13: a look at Debian trixie

While Debian users will indeed notice Firefox package updates, at times I've noticed that Firefox restarts itself when I don't recall a recent update. Perhaps some auto-installed security fix has arrived from Debian.

There is an "unattended-upgrades" package that can update packages for you for security reasons.
It's configurable and can also be disabled, if you decide to do so.
I never saw Firefox doing a restart itself, though. It displays a message to restart it myself to be able to continue browsing.
