My firefox automatically updated in the background to 148.0.2 even though I have disabled auto updates. This is outrageous and I want to rollback immediately.

Hello,

Here are some ways to disable it : 1. Disable Firefox Maintenance Service (Windows): Open windows services (services.msc), (basically do win+R, then type services.msc) find Mozilla Maintenance Service, right-click properties, and set startup type to disabled.

2. Update policies.json go down this firefox file path in windows file explorer : C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\)., then create a folder named distribution, if it doesn't exist, then create a file named policies.json with this code : {
