Firefox background updates

Making moves

I'm finding that regularly, feels like at least weekly, during my workday I have to close Firefox and restart due to an update. I appreciate the enhancements but why do they have to be done during the work week and work day? At least this week and last week, I've tried to open a new tab only to get the message that I have to restart Firefox. Not a huge deal, but an annoyance during the middle of workday.

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
