A few weeks ago my installation of Thunderbird on my Windows 10 laptop was version 151. I want to stop it from being updated, and I asked AI for help. It suggested the following:
1. Create a directory named "distribution" and locate it as follows: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\distribution.
2. Within that directory, I was asked to create a file named "policies.json" and I did so.
3. Within that file, I was asked to place the following:
{
"policies": {
"DisableAppUpdate": true
}
}
and that's what I did.
When I had a look under Settings > Update, there was a note to say that updates have been prevented by the administrator. (That would have been the effect of what I just did.) That was a few weeks ago.
So, when I looked at my version number today, I saw that my version is now 152. It had updated, and the directory and file I created are now no longer present.
It seems that the update process deletes anything that shouldn't be there and doesn't trouble itself with the file I created.
How do I stop Thunderbird from updating my installation?
