If you have Firefox set to not install updates automatically, you would have to click 'OK' on one of the notifications to install the update, but if you set the notifications to never display, there won't be any way to update Firefox. That being said, I'm not completely sure what doing this would accomplish. The numbers are in seconds, so something like '999999999' would mean a delay of around 30 years between when the update is downloaded and when the notification is displayed, which is probably enough time. Given that that's the case, I would expect that changing these both to a really large number would work. I believe there's actually two prefs: controls the popups, controls the green icon. I assume that how frequently the notification is displayed is controlled by the preference, but that's the only relevant entry I found in about:config I want to turn off notifications.Īlso, '''about:preferences#advanced''' doesn't appear to exist in Quantum? That just takes me to the general preferences page. I think you don't understand what I'm asking? I don't want to turn off updates. Type '''about:preferences#general''' in the address bar.Īlso turn off '''Use a background service to install updates''' Type '''about:preferences#advanced''' in the address bar.
