Disabled auto update, but bombarded with update notifications. Help

[nope2]

Disable auto update, but bombarded with update notifications Does anyone have a way to set up FIrefox (desktop) to disable all update notifications?

I don't want a single update notification. I'll update my browser manually. It's got to the point that I'm about to move to the Vivaldi browser. This is my last attempt at fixing Firefox for my workflow.

Firstly you need to find where the actual Firefox binary (program) is. On Windows this will usually be C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. On Linux it can be pretty much anywhere so in Firefox press Alt-H and then choose "More Troubleshooting Information" from the drop-down menu that appears. In the first block of information is a line starting with "Application Binary" with the path next to it.

Get into that directory and make a directory called distribution. In that create a text file called policies.json containing this:—

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

Hello ThePillenwerfer,
I did as you said, just making sure this file is correct (uploaded it here). Only odd thing I had to do was to take ownership of that location as Windows 10 wouldn't let me create a text file, odd.

I do indeed see the same notice under updates in Firefox. All good now.
