/*** [SECTION 0300]: QUIET FOX
We choose to not disable auto-CHECKs (0301's) but to disable auto-INSTALLs (0302's).
There are many legitimate reasons to turn off auto-INSTALLS, including hijacked or
monetized extensions, time constraints, legacy issues, and fear of breakage/bugs.
It is still important to do updates for security reasons, please do so manually. ***/
Starting in user.js v67, we only disable the auto-INSTALL of Firefox. You still get prompts
to update, in one click. We have NEVER disabled auto-CHECKING, and highly discourage that.
Previously we also disabled auto-INSTALLING of extensions (302b).
There are many legitimate reasons to turn off auto-INSTALLS, including hijacked or monetized
extensions, time constraints, legacy issues, dev/testing, and fear of breakage/bugs. It is
still important to do updates for security reasons, please do so manually if you make changes.
