Disabling update nag screen
I've got a really old MacBook Pro that's still running 10.13, and Firefox has started displaying a nag screen telling me that this version is no longer supported, and to install a newer version of MacOS.
Is there something in the advanced settings that will stop it nagging me? I now know it's not going to get any more updates, there's no need to keep telling me every 20 minutes...
(Note to the devs: a "don't remind me again" checkbox would be nice for things like this!)

You can enable the ManualAppUpdateOnly enterprise policy, documentation is linked in about:policies.
Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately enterprise policies aren't enabled on my browser so this doesn't help.
Enterprise policies can be enabled on any browser that you have control over.

The last major update for Fx 115 ESR will be 115.15.0esr in September 2024. https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/#product-desktop-esr

The most current you can use on macOS 10.12, 10.13, 10.14 is Fx 115 ESR as Firefox 116.0 and later requires macOS 10.15 or later to run.
