I find it incredibly disruptive every time this page comes up and it's never completely capable of restoring my tabs. Is there any way to disable it so that it will instead update when I choose to restart Firefox?

Hamburger menu -> Settings -> General -> "Firefox Updates" -> "check for updates but let you choose to install them"
As for losing open tabs, there're a few different extensions that'll allow you to bookmark all open tabs and throw 'em in a folder. Easy enough to do that before updating, then just delete the folder that's created via the bookmarks manager once you've updated/reopened tabs.
be warned, it'll give you unearned optimism about how responsible you are to revisit the tabs you saved but will never see the light of day again.

I got bookmarks going back a decade, sometimes I try to visit a random one and find that it no longer exists and I don't remember what it was or why I saved it
