Hello
Firefox release notes https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releases Mozilla Foundation Security Advisories https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories
DisableAppUpdate https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/upgrade-notification-spam/m-p/64080/highlight/true#M22529 for information purposes.
I do not want to read about release notes, or care about advisories, so I followed the third link. It provided six other links and a screen shot of:
"policies": {
"DisableAppUpdate": true
But I could not figure out how to access the location where that text can be accessed and modified.
Please provide one clear way to disable update notifications.
The Enterprise Policy Generator https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/enterprise-policy-generator helps to create the configuration file.
Prevent Firefox from updating
{ "policies": { "DisableAppUpdate": true } }
Copy/paste the above code (example) into Notepad Save Type: All files policies.json
Then Create the distribution folder Move policies.json to the distribution folder Move the distribution folder to the folder where Firefox is installed
