I run Mozilla's nightly builds and receive updates every day. They disrupt nothing because Mozilla has built infrastructure to make that possible. Firefox must be restarted for the updates to take effect, which is when it does the actual swapout of the staged files, but the restart is basically just a window flickering— tabs retain their state, including forms— in fact to prove the point I manually triggered it while writing this email.
Your anecdata does not match my anecdata. Both Firefox and Thunderbird will malfunction in strange and subtle ways if the package is while the application is running. A restart of the application is required before things start behaving as expected. There are enough people out there experiencing this that one cannot wave it off as hallucinations. It is a real problem that exists despite your experience to the opposite.
