I want to put off for some time updating FF at least until I can do so without undoing everything I've done to get into a (for me) usable state.
Thanks.
Is there a way to turn off upgrade nag....??

Create a folder called distribution where the firefox.exe is located and place the policies.json file there, then restart.
* <installation directory>\distribution\policies.json
Installation directory
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Here is how to test if the DisableAppUpdate policy is working.
Go to the about:policies page and see if the DisableAppUpdate policy shows up in the Active section.
Go to the about:preferences#general page and see if the "Updates disabled" message shows up in the Firefox Updates section.

* <installation directory>\distribution\policies.json
Code: Select all
{
"policies": {
"DisableAppUpdate": true
}
}

Thank you so much for this. I was terrified (well, that's a bit too strong, but ...) that I would inadvertently update. So, really appreciate it.
