You could type these commands after the $ prompt:
$ sudo apt update &
[1] 24966
$ firefox
[1]+ Stopped sudo apt update
The first command followed by & tells it to start in a second terminal (background session). The terminal immediately displays the process ID (24966) of the background session and prompts for another command. When the first command finishes you are notified in the terminal by:
[1]+ Stopped sudo apt update
