Firefox restart forced after update, even though auto updates are disabled
Firefox regularly forces me to restart the browser because of background updates being executed. When loading a new page I get: "Restart to Keep Using Firefox - An update to Firefox started in the background...". (see image below) Background updates of Firefox are disabled in the browsers preferences. (see image below) After restarting the browser, I actually noted, that the version is still the same as before (Noticed this the first time today, when taking the screenshot). (see image below) Anyway, it's a really annoying fact which made me and some colleagues almost leaf Firefox, even though I have been forever.
What is causing this issue and how can I stop it?
System:
- Windows 10
- Firefox 122.0.1 (and prior versions)
- Reproducible on other machines
- Machines are not managed remotely
