That was true for a while, but it gave Firefox users too much control so Mozilla disabled that option. Several websites claim that the "Update your Firefox to the latest in speed and privacy" nag-box can be disabled by setting to false. They then introduced a small pop-up asking users to update instead of respecting their users wishes. There used to be several other preferences you could use, like, but that was a far too easy way to stop Firefox from trying to update when you're on a expensive shoe-string wireless Internet connection in a cabin somewhere so Mozilla disabled that too. That was too convenient for regular end-users so Mozilla removed it's functionality in Firefox 63. However, if you really want to use Firefox for some reason and you want to get rid of that nagging then you may find yourself going down one very deep rabbit-hole.Ī lot of older web pages will tell you that you can disable automatic updates by changing the value of to false in about:config or a user.js file in the Firefox profile directory.
The obvious question is: Why not uninstall Firefox and use NAVER whale, Chromium, or even Google Chrome instead of that bloated always-nagging Firefox browser full of telemetery, useless features like "Pocket" and other things nobody wants? Well, you can, and probably should.
The beta and nightly builds are even more annoying, they will basically nag you about some minor update half the time you sit down in front of your computer. That build will nag about updates regularly. That is not the case if you download and install the Linux version of Firefox from Mozilla's website. Most of the Linux distributions ship a customized Firefox version that won't nag about updates all day long. Mozilla Firefox 88 nagging about updates. Written by 윤채경 (Yoon Chae-kyung) - last edited. Luckily, there is another lesser-know way Linux users can use to make Firefox stop nagging about updates and other lunacy. It used to be possible to disable the nagging using in-browser configurable settings, but Mozilla decided that it gave Firefox users too much control so they took it away. That is you use the Beta or Nightly channels. Mozilla, the company behind Firefox, has intentionally made it somewhere between hard and impossible to stop recent Firefox versions from nagging you about updates on a regular basis.
