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
Use the Troubleshooting Information page to help fix Firefox issues

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!
