From a7ba61c0d4e5af6f63a27b89e73baeb09ba146cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thorin-Oakenpants Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2021 00:52:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] 0304: background service app update [windows] - the service implies a check is done first, I'm more concerned with the actual updating: not that updates are bad, it's about controlling when (if ever e.g. my test suite) - since 0301 has to be done manually in Windows, 0302 is a good fallback **IF** the background service is applicable (read the link) - clean up the numbering --- user.js | 12 ++++++++---- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/user.js b/user.js index 448696a..4526ca1 100644 --- a/user.js +++ b/user.js @@ -186,13 +186,17 @@ user_pref("javascript.use_us_english_locale", true); // [HIDDEN PREF] to do updates for security reasons, please do so manually if you make changes. ***/ user_pref("_user.js.parrot", "0300 syntax error: the parrot's not pinin' for the fjords!"); -/* 0301b: disable auto-CHECKING for extension and theme updates ***/ - // user_pref("extensions.update.enabled", false); -/* 0302a: disable auto-INSTALLING Firefox updates [NON-WINDOWS FF65+] +/* 0301: disable auto-INSTALLING Firefox updates [NON-WINDOWS FF65+] * [NOTE] In FF65+ on Windows this SETTING (below) is now stored in a file and the pref was removed * [SETTING] General>Firefox Updates>Check for updates but let you choose to install them ***/ user_pref("app.update.auto", false); -/* 0302b: disable auto-INSTALLING extension and theme updates (after the check in 0301b) +/* 0302: disable auto-INSTALLING Firefox updates via a background service [FF90+] [WINDOWS] + * [SETTING] General>Firefox Updates>Automatically install updates>When Firefox is not running + * [1] https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-background-updates-firefox-windows ***/ +user_pref("app.update.background.scheduling.enabled", false); +/* 0303: disable auto-CHECKING for extension and theme updates ***/ + // user_pref("extensions.update.enabled", false); +/* 0304: disable auto-INSTALLING extension and theme updates (after the check in 0303) * [SETTING] about:addons>Extensions>[cog-wheel-icon]>Update Add-ons Automatically (toggle) ***/ // user_pref("extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault", false); /* 0306: disable extension metadata
