Hello,

Is there any way to disable the update pop-up notification on the upper right hand corner of the browser for the 81.0+ version of Firefox?

None of the old workarounds via about:config seem to work, and nothing I enter prevents the pop-up from showing about every 24 hours. I would appreciate any up to date solution, even if it's a matter of some kind of custom userchrome.css edit.

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

The update interval is set via a pref on the about:config page that is 12 hours (halve day) by default.

  • app.update.interval = 43200
