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
doesn't work. i still get this pop-up.
What version of Firefox do you have?
Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.
Version 90.0 Build ID 20210705185941
I called for more help.
Note that current is 90.0.2, so you are two versions behind on updates.
that's not the point. sometimes i stick with one version. i switch from chrome because i got fed up by update pop-up. it shows up non stop more than a few times a day.
also, did 90.0.2 fix the bookmark issue? i can't seem to drag them, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

and discord gets stuck too. after i click accept invite i can't get past this button.
Since I was having the same issue, I just tested and can confirm that applying enterprise policies works for blocking updates.
If using Windows, you can do the following:
- run regedit.exe
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\
- Right click Policies > New > Key - Enter Mozilla as name
- Right click Mozilla > New > Key - Enter Firefox as name
- Right click Firefox > New > DWORD (32-bit) Value - Enter DisableAppUpdate as name
- Double click DisableAppUpdate, enter 1 as value
- Restart Firefox
By itself, this is enough to disable updates completely.
Alternatively, you can create a policies.json file with the following content:
{
"policies": { "DisableAppUpdate": true }
} Please check the top part of https://github.com/mozilla/policy-tem.../README.md to see where to place that file depending on your OS. You can check about:policies or about:preferences to see that updates are disabled at this point.
do you know how to upload a picture on discord with firefox? it just doesn't work.
