updates

I need to have the automatic update prompts that appear every time I login disabled. They are annoying and unnecessary. I am not a big user so therefore do not need these constant almost weekly updates. They change my login screen if I update and that's a considerable annoyance because I have to reorganize my screen content again and again that includes all my menu bar data and bookmarks..regards,Ian

Hello

Firefox release notes

Since the release of Firefox 63 https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/63.0/releasenotes

The option to Never check for updates was removed from about:preferences. You can use the DisableAppUpdate enterprise policy as a substitute.

I choose my favorable moment to perform the updates. I use, DisableAppUpdate

Firefox does update as often as weekly to fix security issues and similar. But we want those updates to be as painless as possible. You said:

Can you explain more about what's happening here? An update shouldn't scramble anything like this. What kind of "login screen" do you see?
