I don't want to update my firefox. I was able to disable automatic updates. But the popup keeps coming once in a while. I need to get rid of that popup somehow.

Please let me know if there is a way to disable it other than collapsing NAV Bar.

Hi yash292k11,

You can disable updates using Enterprise Policy JSON

1. Open a plain text editor like notepad or notepad++ and paste the following code in it: {

"policies": {
   "DisableAppUpdate": true
 }

}

2. Save the file as a json file named: policies.json

3. Go to the installation directory of Firefox and create a new folder with the name: distribution. On Windows the directory is: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox (x86) [if running 32bit Firefox in 64bit Windows]

4. Now just copy the policies.json file into this folder.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried setting the below ones but still I get the popup message "policies": {

       "DisableAppUpdate": true,

"AppAutoUpdate": false, "AppUpdateURL": "https://www.dummsite.com", }

I tried those fields in the link you have provided before I raised my question. Looks like it didn't get me the solution I was looking for.

{

   "policies": {
       "DisableAppUpdate": true,

"AppAutoUpdate": false, "AppUpdateURL": "https://www.dummsite.com", "PopupBlocking": true, "ManualAppUpdateOnly": true

   } 

}

Check the about:policies page, to see if there are any active policies.

None of these proposed solutions work. No other Googled proposed solutions work either. And given the EXTREME number of problems of signing up to make this comment, it sounds like Mozilla refuses to allow the popups to stop.
