Jobik Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hello to all First, I apologize not to be in the right place. I have some difficulties to navigate in this new presentation. I didn't find where open my topic... Sorry for the inconvenience. Tired of looking for solutions that don't work, let me explain a proglem I have with Firefox. While I understand that automatic updates allow for patches and improvements, I would like to stay in control of these updates. The first thing i did, of course, is to check the "check for updates, but leave you decide..." in the options. But - i don't know why - Firefox changes the setting by itself and I end up with automatic updates. Then, I applied other methods (modification of ini files...) but nothing works. I would like this parameter to remain as I want it. If someone had a solution... Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance Jobik: Go to the following web page: https://www.webnots.com/how-to-disable-automatic-update-in-firefox/ Look t option 2. Firefox Enterprise Policies Option. That has worked for me in the past. But, I am no longer using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobik Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 @gandalf44 thank you for your answer. I'm going to try Edit : i created a 'distribution' folder, and a 'policies.json' file in it. Now in firefox options page i read that updates are disabled by my system admin. So it seems to work. Thanks again for this simple but effective solution.
