Firefox removed "Never check for updates" option

<< < (3/4) > >>

vinnie:
from this point of view this decision of firefox to make automatic updates always active and impossible to disabled even with the about:config makes me think that firefox is becoming more and more similar to chrome.
I wonder, but they will have thought about how many linux distros use autoupdate to update the browser? in my opinion the answer is 0, they made an option only for windows users and imposed it to linux users... w open source...

Hi vinnie

As I said in the original post, you just need to place a  policies.json  file in  /etc/firefox/policies/  as explained here:

vinnie:
I know but for me this is no-sense complication, what is the problem with about:config?
i had read about this procedure as soon as i reinstalled firefox a few weeks ago in tinycore, i refused to do it the same, it's obvious that I can do something that is not so difficult, but why? what's the point? forced updates are a policy of windows and ubuntu too, i think mozilla is losing strikes

Rich:
Hi vinnie
If you don't want to be notified about available updates, and you refuse to use the procedure I found, then you'll
have to take this issue up with the Mozilla people since it is out of our control.

vinnie:
Yes, you are perfectly right Rich, my complaints were not against you (in fact you have been very kind to post the solution on the forum without anyone asking you), it was just to talk a bit about this strange behavior of mozilla.
