upgrade notification spam

[Tikihead]

getting constant upgrade spam from firefox.

I just upgraded to 127.  and now its telling me to upgrade to 128.

I cannot find a way to silence the notifications,

and I cannot find a way to import the bookmarks toolbar to waterfox.

it's annoying enuff for me to want to ditch firefox, even tho i love the browser.

thanx for listening.

Hello

Firefox release notes
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releases
Since the release of Firefox 63 https://www.mozilla.org/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.

Firefox policies https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates
DisableAppUpdate https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#disableappupdate
The Enterprise Policy Generator https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/enterprise-policy-generator helps to create the configuration file

{
  "policies": {
    "DisableAppUpdate": true
  }
}

By way of other illustration https://www.youtube.com/embed/wiWZOm_UX30

Another way, not to block updates, or, to block updates
DisableAppUpdate 0 not to block updates
By way of illustration, DisableAppUpdate 1 block updates
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox

Enterprise Policies: This shows you if your browser is being managed by Windows Group Policy or a policies.json file. If enterprise policies are managing Firefox, clicking on Active will show you a list of the policies that are currently active on

Man I wish Google Chrome were as easy....

A simple way to kill the update notifications, if you don't have GPOs or anything fancy, say an air gapped network...

Generate this registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox]

DWORD 32 = DisableAppUpdate=1

Reboot... done, no more nags!

I was simply surprised that there were no such problems on Linux. Why make it for Windows?

[Agentvirtuel]

As far as i'm concerned Firefox on Linux
DisableAppUpdate, yes https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/forced-restart/m-p/48813/highlight/true#M17511
DisableAppUpdate, no https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/feedback-automatic-updates-and-forced-browser-restarts/m-...

Clarification as far as i'm concerned install Firefox on Linux

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
System Firefox installation (for advanced users) that's my installation.

He he he. This is a real sore spot. Why not just return the third button - do nothing?
