Can the automatic checking for an update in thunderbird be stopped?

[tbundy00]

I set my thunderbird to check for updates but don't download but what I would really like to do is to stop it from checking for updates at all.  Is this a possibility?

Create distribution folder
Move policies.json to distribution folder
Move the distribution folder to the folder containing thunderbird.exe [the program installation folder]
