Hi the user should not manually check for updates so we want to disable the Check for updates button also in Help/About.

Thanks in advanced

Gekose oplossing

You can hide that button with code in userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#aboutDialog #updateBox { display:none!important; }

You can also choose to lock the related update pref(s) to false if you want to make sure.
