Updates All the time.

Enough with the almost daily updates. What the hell are you doing? It used to be maybe a few months in between. I put off one update for a week, updated 2 hours ago, and already have another one? How about making it once I refuse the current update for a time, you don't have it constantly bug me to update. Let me update if and when I feel like it.

@radiowizard , @Wolf1969 : updates for Firefox are every two-weeks now, as you can see here:
https://whattrainisitnow.com/calendar/

If issues are identified in Firefox which cannot wait until the next version, and minor point-update will go-out in-between (so the current Firefox as of now is 159.0.1, fixing issues found after 159.0 released).

If you want a Firefox which changes less-often (so still gets updates about every two-weeks, but only to fix security issues, not change things or add new features), you can switch to the "ESR" version:
https://www.firefox.com/download/all/desktop-esr/

Alternatively, you can disable all updates for Firefox as follows:
1. Close all Firefox windows
2. Open Notepad, and type in the following:
{
"policies": {
"DisableAppUpdate": true
}
}
3. Save that file as policies.json (be sure not to save it as "policies.json.txt")
4. Copy that file into: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Distribution
(create the "Distribution" folder if it doesn't already exist)
5. Open Firefox again, and go to Menu -> Settings -> About Firefox and it should say updates are disabled

Turning updates off will put your device at risk though, especially the more time passes. But it's your choice.

Add restartless updates like Edge is planning to do.
