Yea, so I only recently came back to firefox, having left before the australis abomination, and finally got into what I consider a usable state. And not this proton thing comes along. Sorry, not into change for change sake. I want the browser NOT to ask me if I wanna upgrade(downgrade really), ever. How can I do this.

How do you completely turn off update checks in Firefox v64? You can use a policies.json file to disable updates for all users. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md or https://winaero.com/blog/disable-updates-firefox-63-above/

You can use a policies.json file in the distribution folder in the Firefox installation folder instead as also listed in the article, so no need to use GPO keys in the Windows Registry. • https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson
