When I download an update and restart firefox, it opens a https://www.firefox.com/en-US/whatsnew/ tab. I want it to not do this.

There's a config preference:

 browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone

that you can set to "ignore" for skipping What's New pages on updates.

Hello

OverridePostUpdatePage https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/#overridepostupdatepage

Another way to do it, a test in progress, with the Windows registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\OverridePostUpdatePage Or KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\OverridePostUpdatePage
