Hi, using Mac OS. Have tried the about:config set the auto update configs to false, still it keeps prompting every day or a few hours . There is also a timer setting. They dont seem to work, and these update notifications are very irritating, keep popping up every 8 hours or so.

Not sure the necessity for these incessive updates every day or hours, it uses a lot of system resources and hdd space, can Firefox put back the option when we can just tick 'update only when we want them' , in these, no background timer required they use system resources and there are many of us do not want them.

I also have this issue on Linux. Notification unesccesarily prompts to update every few hours on version 133.

Is there an about:config option to set the update notification message ?

I also have the same question. I am on a Windows machine. It seems like every week there is a new update with notifications from Firefox every few hours. I am thinking about just transitioning to another browser. The people who run Firefox are quite disappointing.
