How to disable Firefox updates reminder?
How can I disable annoying updates reminder popping up again and again in latest Firefox versions?
I read a lot of questions like that and tips how to disable updates completely, but this is not what actually people wanted. All we need is just disable reminder and let user update manually, i.e. behavior similar to any other software including other browsers.

Note: With some versions of Firefox, the data files are not backward compatible.
If there is an issue, create a new profile and we can tell you how to recover the data.
Step one: How do you completely turn off update checks in Firefox v64? You can use a policies.json file to disable updates for all users. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md or https://winaero.com/blog/disable-updates-firefox-63-above/
You can use a policies.json file in the distribution folder in the Firefox installation folder instead as also listed in the article, so no need to use GPO keys in the Windows Registry. • https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You can use the ManualAppUpdateOnly policy in Firefox 87+ to enable only manual updates e.g. via "Help -> About Firefox".
