Repeated notifications of new versions

Post by BabblesBird »

I have updated to 102.3.0 and now whenever I start Thunderbird(64bit), a few minutes later I get a dialog asking me to download the latest version. I have updated to 102.3.1 and it continues to do so. I tried reinstalling Thunderbird at 102.3.0 and this has not improved.

See http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3096527 . Similar problem, still exists, but perhaps you'd have better luck with some of the proposed solutions.

There are two basic solutions you can pursue. One is to delete the directory used to store information about updates. The other is to create a policies.json file that prevents updating. You'd have to rename or delete that file later on if you want to upgrade. See http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... olicy.json for how to do that .

I'm using 102.3.1 and haven't run into this problem yet, so I assume its a configuration specific bug.
