Another Update Without My Consent!

HikesinRain — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 18:01:35 GMT

What in the world is going on with Mozilla?? This is the third time this year that Mozilla has updated something without my consent. Both Firefox and Thunderbird are set to let me decide to update, and Mozilla just updates it anyway. Twice on Firefox (one just a few minutes ago) and another on Thunderbird.

Mozilla, you are rapidly pushing me off as a customer!

For example and clarification.

Dedicated profile per Thunderbird installation
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dedicated-profile-thunderbird-installation

Some users have multiple program installations of Thunderbird on the same computer; for example, Thunderbird 38, Thunderbird 45, Thunderbird 52 and Thunderbird 60, each installed in a separate program folder. In these older Thunderbird installations it was allowed to share the same profile by default.
However, with version 68 and newer versions a dedicated profile is used for each program installation of Thunderbird (including Nightly and Beta). This makes Thunderbird more stable when switching between installations on the same computer, and also allows you to run different installations of Thunderbird at the same time.
