How to permanently disable FireFox updating... For those of you who just need it that badly, follow these instructions: --- Quote --- Close Firefox before proceeding. Launch Windows Registry Editor. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies Create a new key there named Mozilla. You will end up with: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Mozilla Under the Mozilla key, create a new key named Firefox. You will end up with: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox On the right, create a new 32-Bit DWORD value DisableAppUpdate Set its value to: 1 Restart Firefox and you will no longer see the "a new Firefox update is available" popup. In Firefox navigate to about:preferences and in the General section under Firefox Updates you will see "Updates disabled by your system administrator" --- End quote --- Finally, some peace... Here is a .zip of a firefox auto-update ON and OFF reg files I created (IE: they automatically perform the registry addition you see in the above quote.): https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/how-to-permanently-disable-firefox-updating/msg5113854/#msg5113854 |

Go into the settings menu of Firefox and set the updates to manual. |

Thanks, will give that a try. Problem is that later verisions of FF no longer have the ability to disable updates, which is why i'm still on 114.0.2. That does keep nannying with an update box, top right, several times a day, but at least it can be ignored. Would be good to get rid of that as well... |
