Hello there again BlitzSlike.

Can you be more specific about the subject? Is it about Thunderbird mail or Firefox?

Are the problems occurring or do you see pop-up windows with notifications.

Thunderbird Automatically updates itself. The question about this is more to disable this than to enable it?

Greetings FirefoxVolunteer.

Hello there again. Blitzsilke.

Maybe you have disabled the automatic updates feature and you don't know how to update manually?

-You can enable or disable automatic updates in Firefox with these steps.-

From Firefox Menu-

Select the “Menu” Menu Button button in the upper-right corner, then choose “Options“. Select “General” on the left pane. Scroll down to the “Firefox Updates” section. Select one of the following options as desired: Automatically install updates Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them Never check for updates Check or uncheck the “Use a background service to install updates” option as desired.

From about:config Menu

Type “about:config” in the address bar, then press “Enter“. Search for the “app.update.auto” setting. Double-click the “app.update.auto” option to toggle the setting. If set to “true“, automatic updates are enabled. If set to “false“, automatic updates are disabled.

Via prefs.js file

Close Firefox. Navigate to the following location based on your operating system. Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 – “%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox“ Unix/Linux – “~/.mozilla/“ Mac OS X – “~/Library/Mozilla/” or “~/Library/Application Support/“ Open the “Profiles” folder. Open the folder that represents the profile you would like to edit. The name of the folder will vary. It is usually a bunch of characters, followed by “.default”. Open the prefs.js file with a text editor like Notepad. Look for a line that contains app.update.enabled. If it doesn’t exist, add a line for it in the file and set it as desired using these examples: user_pref("app.update.enabled", true); = Automatic updates enabled user_pref("app.update.enabled", false); = Automatic updates disabled
