firefox disable auto update

firefox disable auto update

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS and recently installed FireFox 152 through the apt install channel.

When I open Settings/About Firefox, I see the Firefox updates is set to "Updates are managed by your operating system." There doesn't seem to any longer be a setting to check for updates manually or to notify me that an update is available so that I can chose when to do the update.

I opened about:config and changed app.update.auto from True to False, but that had no effect.

I would like to be able to disable the automatic updates so that I have control over when the updates happen. What are the steps to do this?

Additional info: Prior to today I was using Snap to update Firefox. Something went haywire with the auto update that broke Firefox, so I no longer care to use Snap.

Thanks



Top Answer/Comment:

Many Linux distributions come with Firefox pre-installed and set as the default browser. However, if you need to install Firefox on Linux using a different method, the following guide will show you how to install Firefox on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE and other Linux distributions. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions

Install .deb
