Cannot turn off update nagging

Firefox Aktualisieren
Agent virtuel beantwortet

I update software on a regular schedule, and would prefer to not have Firefox (136.0) nag every few minutes that I'm not on the latest and greatest. 120.0.1 only nags a little. How can I turn the nagging totally off?

I added the following to `~/firefox/distribution/policies.json`, but it didn't help.

``` { 

   "policies": {
       "DisableAppUpdate": true,

"DisableSystemAddonUpdate": true, "DisableTelemetry": true, "ManualAppUpdateOnly": true, "AppAutoUpdate": false, 

   }

} ```

Adding policies.json file should help. Can you see active policies on the about:policies page?

With "about:policies" I get: The Enterprise Policies service is inactive.

Addendum: A JSON lint showed a final comma in the config file, so I've removed that in /etc/firefox/policies/policies.json. We'll see how it works.

Are you sure your A/V software is blocking the updates?

Hello

For information purposes The Enterprise Policy Generator https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/enterprise-policy-generator helps to create the configuration file.

DisableAppUpdate, by way of illustration, for my part Linux https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/forced-restart/m-p/48813/highlight/true#M17511
