How do I turn off "DisableAppUpdate"?
I am having a problem saving my work through a portal I am using for work on Firefox.
While trying to fix this problem, I went to Firefox Settings and noticed the following hyperlinked text: "Your browser is being managed by your organization." This is my personal computer, so I don't know what organization it may be referring to.
Clicking on it brings me to a new tab called "Enterprise Policies". In that tab is a list called "Active" with two columns: Policy Name and Policy Value. The only item listed is "DisableAppUpdate" with the value "true". This may be the cause of my original problem, but in any case, I want to be able to run updates!
I am using Firefox 137.0.1 (64-bit) on a Pop_OS system.
How do I turn off "DisableAppUpdate" and run updates?

On Linux, that policy usually means that your system package manager is responsible for updating Firefox rather than Firefox updating itself. I don't know anything about Pop_OS so I don't know whether it's straightforward to use the package manager to update Firefox, or whether you need to remove the policy to bypass it.
For reference on how policies are applied (what file would need to be deleted), see: Customize Firefox using policies.json.
