Hello,
First off, I have been trolling the internet for a few days trying to find the answer to this with no avail.
I want to be able to keep Firefox up to date without any user interaction, or having to launch the application.
I DO NOT want to see "Firefox is installing updates" splash screen when i try to launch the browser, i want this installed already hence what the background installer is suppose to be for.
When I launch Brave it NEVER asks me to update, nor do i see any screen that says installing updates, etc.. , yet it is always up to date. This is the behavior that I want in Firefox. I should not have to see a splash screen when i launch Firefox saying installing updates when I have it set to background updates which should be silent. So, Firefox will never be up to date unless someone opens it.
I have set install updates, when not running and use background service to install.
I also changed the config IF needed for the following in about:config:
user_pref("app.update.langpack.enabled", false);
user_pref("app.update.auto.migrated", true);
user_pref("app.update.background.enabled", true);
I completely installed nightly version for the first time to test out settings as it updates frequently and is using a new profile( FF profile that is). Yet this issue continues to happen where I see a splash screen, sometimes the browser launches, then closes, then that splash screen pops up saying that it is installing updates then the browser re-opens again. This is sloppy behavior and needs to be corrected
What is the point of having a background installer if it does not work as a true background installer?
As I have stated This happens on three different machines and version versions of Firefox. I have not found anything for this as all my search results come up regarding installing Firefox silently from cmd, or enable auto updates. I want a completely silent update similar to how brave/chrome works.
Thank you for your time.
