Alright, maybe i'm just stupid or else this is becomming really retarded. As i said i set firefox to NOT AUTOMATICALLY INSTALL UPDATES but let me MANUALLY DO IT. I just restarted the browser and this silly software going rogue decided to RE-ENABLED AUTO UPDATES.

Mozilla?

You okay?

Try installing a policy.

This

"policies": {

   "DisableSystemAddonUpdate": true,

   "DNSOverHTTPS": {
       "Enabled": false,
       "ProviderURL": "",
       "Locked": false
   },

Does not work, firefox still goes back to automatic updates even with the policie "ManualAppUpdateOnly": true and when i manually deactivate the auto update settings, the f*?

Is this the case where you are using preferences set by another browser?

You can't stop the Auto update this is something mention time and time again. Only thing you can do when you see the notification is dismiss the update until it makes you update. There is a RegEdit that does this but such posting are removed if posted. You only choice is to look online for this open and read up on how to download and do this custom block.

This is starting to sound really stupid. Firefox has two options for updates: 1 - notify me when a new version is available 2 - automatically instll updates There is no option to disable updates BUT you can choose to manually install them, you can dismiss the update notification forever, no idea what the hell you mean by "untill it makes you update". I know there is a regedit tweak to disable updates, i don't want to disable updates, i want to use manual updates, simple?? Posts are removed?? Are we china now or what, F censorship, thanks.

I'm using firefox and firefox dev edition. I set both to manual updates, firefox ignores that, after restarting the browser it uses automatic updates again. Both versions of firefox use policie: "ManualAppUpdateOnly": true

Telemetry

If you filter the Settings page by typing technical in its tiny search box, you can select your data choices. See: Manage Firefox data collection and privacy settings. This doesn't mean Firefox won't keep track of update history for local reference, but it will be private.

Task Scheduling

I'm assuming you are doing this using the Autoconfig method (Customize Firefox using AutoConfig):

As suggested i added these two lines to firefox.cfg lockPref("app.update.background.enabled", false); lockPref("app.update.background.scheduling.enabled", false);

based on your recent thread https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1395108. Are you saying that Firefox still runs a scheduled task for background updating, or were you hoping that this also would affect something else?

Background Service

If you filter the Settings page by typing update in its tiny search box, what do you choices look like? Is the bottom box unchecked?
