I have noticed that Firefox has been getting too many updates recently...even as much as 2 updates this week alone. Frankly i'm sick of getting the green icons and pop-ups in the upper right corner. Is there a way in about:blank codes to turn off these stealth downloading behaviour and prompt pop-ups to restart the browser and let me just manually do it in settings when i want to but without notifications ?

Hello An subject https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1509058 By way of illustration https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/fonts-formatting-and-the-never-ending-updating/m-p/95117/highlight/true#M37113 i did the update to solve my problem Bug 1961710.

No i'm not good with using notepad coding and policy generators like that solution shows.

Is there a download version for this or simple about:blank code?

update: i created a dword for it in the past with the registry editor with the DisableAppUpdate with a value of 1 but i'm so bad at finding policies in folders they are so deviously hidden in modern windows versions. You can't even find with run or by using task manager and create new task

Even as im the administrator on my own laptop that's why i prefer about:config
