How to never check for updates (not even have a message), in version 68+ ?
This been asked already in "How to never check for updates in version 63.0b4? | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support" https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1232918
but the ticket was closed without having been properly answered -- and I feel that the people who replied at the end of the thread were taking the piss (why is it saying "Flash Plugin", that's not what the ticket was about?!). (+ NOTE: I understand 100% Artmaker's frustration and anger back there.)
I am doing automated testing using Firefox (and Selenium) and those automated updates are huge problem for me. I have disabled the automated update but the prompt is still being an annoyance: it causes my application-under-test to crash.
I shall stress that being unable to disable this message is not acceptable! Have I made myself clear? And if that's the case, I would very much like to escalate this to Firefox developers, because I've been struggling with this problem for way too long.
Thank you,
P.

Hello Pino,
If you no longer want to see the update notifications, would you please do this :
Type in te address bar about:config and press Enter (promise to be careful, if asked)
Type in the search bar app.update
Look for the preference app.update.doorhanger
and set its value to false
Then close and restart Firefox.
