Is Your Firefox 0.9.x Repeatedly Telling You to Update?

Post by Jack »

Enter "about:config" (without the quotes) in the address/URL bar. Enter "update" (without the quotes) in the filter box, then right-click any prefs shown in bold and select reset in the context-menu. Then make sure to turn off all software and extension update preferences (Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Software Update) - but leave "Allow web sites to install software" alone.

Thanks to Hendikins and Steffen for this. :)

Hopefully that should work. If it doesn't, feel free to post your problem in a seperate thread. Thank you!

I updated the title of the thread. While Firefox 0.9.1 fixes the repeated crash problem with Firefox 0.9, it introduces another fun "feature" that can be corrected the same way.

Updated the above to reflect the new reality of Firefox 0.9.1.
