I installed firefox on ubuntu 24.04 following the guidelines from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

I followed the direction from the section "Install Firefox .deb package for Debian-based distributions", adding the https://packages.mozilla.org/apt repository, prioritizing that over firefox snap from ubunto repors and finally installing firefox.

All good, now I have the latest firefox.

Question: what entry should I add to the "Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins" section of "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades" in order to enable unattended upgrades for the mozilla repo?

Googling this got me different contradictory recommendations that did not get my system to firefox 146 until I manually run the apt update/upgrade.

Thanks!

I think I have found the answer to my own question.

The command 'apt-cache policy' lists all required information, among other entries I got:

1000 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main all Packages 

   release o=namespaces/moz-fx-productdelivery-pr-38b5/repositories/mozilla,a=mozilla,n=mozilla,l=namespaces/moz-fx-productdelivery-pr38b5/repositories/mozilla,c=main,b=all
   origin packages.mozilla.org


This translates into an Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins entry in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades like this:

"namespaces/moz-fx-productdelivery-pr-38b5/repositories/mozilla:mozilla";
