I'm using Linux Mint cinnamon 22 and have the latest version of Firefox installed or updated from the app updates. Firefox was already installed and is my preferred browser. But i have the problem when i go to the settings page i see a message on top (picture attached with this post) that says "Your browser is manged by your organization".

Which is simply not true. This is my personal laptop and it belongs to me. I see an answer from Linux mint devs that they will take it up with Mozilla. But that was three years ago. Can this message be ignored or is it still the case? For peace of mind, how do i verify that something is not managing my device?

The message is due to using the Firefox package builds from Linux Mint. The Firefox updates are from Mint and not from Mozilla. Linux distros package builds may either have this message or no message while removing the "Check for updates" in the About Firefox window.

Mozilla only provides internal Firefox updates to their own Firefox builds for Windows, macOS, Linux from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-release#firefox
