Teaching: Blocking automatic updates in Firefox
Firefox auto-update is very annoying, most of my life is watching Firefox auto-update...When the time comes, tell you to update, or there is a very annoying update notice in the upper right corner.Anyway, this article simply teaches how to ban updates
Disable file update:
- Let’s start with a folder: distribution
- Let’s open a new text file and type:
{ "policies": { "DisableAppUpdate.": false } } - File name: policies.json after completion
- Put policies.json in the distribution folder
- Move the entire distribution folder to the Firefox installation directory and you’re done
__ Open browser __ again
More private version of policies.json file
{ "policies": { AppUpdateURL: http://127.0.0.1/, "DisableAppUpdate": true, "DisableSystemAddonUpdate": true, "DisableFirefoxAccounts": true, "DisableProfileImport": true, "DisableMasterPasswordCreation": true, "DisableFormHistory": true, "DisableFirefoxStudies": true, "DisablePocket": true, "DisableFirefoxScreenshots": true, "DisableBuiltinPDFViewer": true, "DisableDeveloperTools": true, "DisableTelemetry": true, "CaptivePortal": false, "NetworkPrediction": false, "DisableSetDesktopBackground": true } }
