Firefox logo How do you disable update prompts? 10 replies 11 have this problem 20241 views Last reply by cor-el 5 months ago

Chesu Chesu 12/31/17, 8:58 AM more options I have Firefox set to automatically download updates, but to only install them with my permission. The problem is that Firefox Quantum has a feature that displays a little green icon in the top-right corner of the window indicating that an update is available, and frequently brings up notifications prompting me to update. Most of the time, I can't just drop what I'm doing and restart Firefox, so these notifications are nothing but an annoyance.

Is there a way to disable both the notifications and the little green icon while keeping the "update but don't install" option enabled? I assume that how frequently the notification is displayed is controlled by the app.update.promptWaitTime preference, but that's the only relevant entry I found in about:config. I'm willing to disable this through my userChrome.css if necessary. If I can't find a way to disable these, I'll probably disable searching for updates completely.

Chosen solution Would you give this a try :

Type in the address bar about: config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked)

Type in the search bar and look for the preference :

app.update.silent

and set its value to true

Then close and restart Firefox in order for the change to take effect

See

Type “about:config” in the address bar, then press “Enter“. Search for the “app. update. auto” setting. Double-click the “app. update. auto” option to toggle the setting. If set to “true“, automatic updates are enabled. If set to “false“, automatic updates are disabled.
