Hi.
In Firefox 63 the option to never check for updates was removed. The release notes suggest to create a policies.json to disable updates. This does not result in similar behaviour! It does indeed stop the checks for updates, but it also disables the option of manually checking for updates. So this is not the same!
I'd like to know how I can disable the auto checking for updates, but keep the option to manually check and update.
I found this thread regarding a beta version of Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1232918 but that does not give an answer to my question.
I typically check for updates every few days, but I do not want Firefox to check automatically and/or install without my express permission. I seem to be left with renaming the policies file every time I want to check for updates. Cumbersome and very user unfriendly.
I would like to get back to the behaviour I have used for many years. To wit: I click on 'About Firefox' and I can see the version number without any checks or updates starting without my consent. I am presented with a button to check for updates. If I click it, I am presented with either a message stating I am up to date, or an option to update without it automatically doing so. And only if I then click to confirm that I indeed want to update, it starts downloading said update and installing it. This is what I want back please. How do I make that happen? Thanks.

Sometimes when browsing, Firefox will completely freeze, and stop responding to anything I do until I completely close it down and reopen. So far, I've observed it: - frequently while browsing tumblr (I don't have infinite scrolling turned on) - every time I try to open a film/show on Netflix from the homepage (but going there from my browsing history works) - sometimes when loading the YouTube comments section - occasionally when having multiple Firefox windows open - once or twice it's happened when simply closing a tab
So far, the only solution I've found is to start Firefox in safe mode, which is obviously not a long-term fix.

I have to use FF version 26 with development in GWT. Since I have upgraded to the latest Mac OS Mojave 10.14.1, FF crashed as soon as I typed an address into the address bar. It also crashed when trying to drop the combo in the delete history dialog, so I think it might have had something to do with the combo list control or surrounding functions. Now after going through the step by step trouble shooting guide on FF support. FF seems to be taking longer to crash (similar crash report). If I now click on the button to install the needed GWT plugin it crashes.
Here is a snippet from the Crash Report:

This is not a simple question to ask and is not very easy to explain. But I shall try.
I am running a program suite called "Node-Red" on another machine. Access is done via the "web". (http). Usually you just enter the IP address and you are into the edit screen. This is obviously not a good idea on a machine exposed to the net. So, you activate security settings. (See a bit later)
I am using Firefox as my main browser and I have activated security settings in Node-Red. Subsequently I can't log in. BUT! Other browsers can. (From other people) I have tried it and seen it once work. Sorry but that's all I have at this time. The information attached about my system is unedited, because as I said: I don't know what is needed at this stage.
I can get the "name" entered, but every time I click on the Password field, the cursor jumps back to the name field.
(Documents for what I am doing) https://nodered.org/docs/security.html
See attached image for what I see in FF. Please forgive the red arrows. I was talking to the Node-Red people about it also. "Luckily" someone else is having problems when using FireFox. But they can if they use another browser - as stated.
I don't know exactly what information (at this time) is needed. Alas it may require someone in here to install Node-Red and try it them selves.
I also appreciate that is a big ask. But it would seem I am not the only person with this problem and someone else has recently posted that they have the same problem.
What further complicated me asking here is I have a couple of other programs installed for password management and I had to go through the process of eliminating them.
So I am now at the point where it is pointing to FireFox and it not playing the game.
Thanks in advance for any help in resolving the problem.

The latest update won't take. Every time I start Firefox it runs the update again. If I go to Help>About Firefox it say "Restart to update Firefox" every time. How do I fix this. It's annoying, especially since I get a security warning every time I start Firefox because of the update.
The information below says version 63.0, but Help>About says 63.0.1.

I've tried switching out monitors, switching out cables, but nothing works. Every time I scroll in Firefox (63.x) or play youtube videos, my second monitor flickers. Not flickers to black, but just bands across the screen. This started happening after the latest Nvidia drivers were installed (416.94). This flickering happens ONLY using Firefox. Other apps, Chrome/Edge, do not have this problem. In fact, I had to switch back to Chrome because the flickering was very distracting in my peripheral vision. I want to switch BACK to Firefox, but can't until this issue is resolved. I know it's not hardware (I switched out everything except the video card). Firefox didn't have this behavior before driver 416.94. Please help me come back to Firefox!

I've always been able to have several videos playing at once in separate tabs.
Since a few days ago, as soon as I start the 2nd video, the first video's audio continues but the video freezes. To get the video moving again I have to turn it off and back on. Then it will start moving again, but the other's video instantly stops.
I've been able to have multiple videos playing always, until now.

Every time I go to some sites, Amazon in particular, the site is logged out and I have to log back in. I have tried everything that I can find in the previous answers. IT IS NOT the cookies, I have changed all the settings suggested previously and checked all parts of privacy for issues. Cookies are enabled, do not clear at close and an exception was made for Amazon. Nothing. What else could it be?

you used to not get a stupid popup constantly telling you to update, why would something like this be added without being able to suppress the popup in the normal settings? now i have to go find an older version or maybe start using opera again even though im aware of app.update.silent just on shear principle. is firefox striving to be as bad as chrome, because things like this is how you become as bad as chrome.

This morning, everything was hunky dory. Now suddenly all sorts of websites I frequent don't work. I go to armorgames.com and it says "The connection is untrusted" and the technical details say "www.armorgames.com uses an invalid security certificate". If I tell it to override, none of the flash games load. I go to the manga website taadd.com and the same thing happens. If I tell it to override, none of the images load, and the page looks like badly columnated and badly formatted text. I go to mitsuku.com, the chatbot, and the program starts, and it gives me a choice over the formats of display, and it shows the disclaimer, which is part of the flash program, and then it says please wait a moment, and then it says "sorry, my chat function is currently offline and so I am unable to talk with you." I check on stocks at money.cnn.com/data/premarket and it's all messed up, like taadd.com was, with it just a bunch of badly collated text. Other websites work, for instance the game site novelgames.com works just fine, and the flash games load just fine. Youtube works. Gmail works.
I have it set to not save any cookies or history, have done it this way for years. So clearing cache is pointless, it clears when I close firefox.
I have reset my computer, doesn't fix it. It simply was working just fine early this morning and then a few minutes later it suddenly didn't work. I'm typing this up on a different computer.
Searching about this online, it is suggested that it might have something to do with antivirus programs, but I don't have much of an active antivirus program. I have iolo going in the background. A fat lot of good it did me in 2014 when I got a ransomware virus. It's pretty useless. But I also haven't updated it or messed with it in a long time, I just let it do its thing. I also have firefox set to not update, because I don't need to deal with that.
I can go to these sites with the dreaded internet explorer, or "evil explorer" as I call it, but that is a last recourse.
So what's the deal? What can I do about it? And do you need any additional information to figure this out?
