This pops up every few hours. Sometimes it pops up invisible but steals focus from the main window. How can this be disabled?

I tried all methods that have been mentioned everywhere on the Internet, including policy.json, Group Policy on Windows, etc. Nothing disables this nagging yet.

Interesting... I don't get that from my distro version of Firefox. What distro are you running? Waterfox has the option to disable updates, but I did forget about that when I was ready to update.  ;-))

This is not a question about disabling updates: they are already disabled. This is a question about disabling a nagging pop-up. As to the version, then it is ANY, examples include 115, 111, etc. A few dozens of versions into Quantum travesty, this behavior began. For a short while, policy.json worked but stopped.

The lack of interest to this from Mozilla foundation is very telling of its disrespect towards its users. You create a problem and refuse to address it.
