Firefox needs to stop with this update notification prompt that is every few hours, cant seem to deactivate this
Hi, using Mac OS. Have tried the about:config set the auto update configs to false, still it keeps prompting every day or a few hours . There is also a timer setting. They dont seem to work, and these update notifications are very irritating, keep popping up every 8 hours or so.
Not sure the necessity for these incessive updates every day or hours, it uses a lot of system resources and hdd space, can Firefox put back the option when we can just tick 'update only when we want them' , in these, no background timer required they use system resources and there are many of us do not want them.

what are some of the other ways to stop this in mac os? though I dont want install other software
I also have this issue on Linux. Notification unesccesarily prompts to update every few hours on version 133.
Is there an about:config option to set the update notification message ?
I also have the same question. I am on a Windows machine. It seems like every week there is a new update with notifications from Firefox every few hours. I am thinking about just transitioning to another browser. The people who run Firefox are quite disappointing.
