Every single time I open Firefox, I'm presented with this annoying reminder that tells me to update Firefox. Problem is, I manually installed Firefox into an Ubuntu folder, and it doesn't get auto-updated. I'm perfectly capable of downloading the latest version and replacing the old version WHEN I CHOOSE TO. I don't need Firefox reminding me about it every single goddamn time I open the browser. A reminder every month or every 40 days would have still been tolerable. But everytime I open the browser??!!! Who takes these kind of decisions? Please don't make a user interface so annoying!!!

See if this works for you;

How do you completely turn off update checks in Firefox v64? You can use a policies.json file to disable updates for all users. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md or https://winaero.com/blog/disable-updates-firefox-63-above/

I don't know if my problem is exactly what's being discussed here.

I have disabled automatic updates, but I still get this message. I want to elimnate it.

What's your computer system and Firefox version?
