/*** [SECTION 0300]: QUIET FOX
|
||
|
|
We only disable the auto-INSTALL of Firefox (app) updates. You still get prompts to update,
|
||
|
|
and it only takes one click. We highly discourage disabling auto-CHECKING for updates.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Legitimate reasons to disable auto-INSTALLS include hijacked/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.
