I chose for the Subject the same text as a question a year ago (rick147 10/24/23, 11:48 PM).
The solution offered on that thread does not tell how to disable upgrades.
Thunderbird>Settings>General>Updates offers only two choices:
"Automatically update," which results in Thunderbird being updated automatically, without asking the user.
"Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them," which results in frequent popups asking to update.
Neither of these disables updates. The second causes an update if the user clicks the Update button.
Updates are enabled with either choice.
There is not a choice to disable, prevent, stop, updates.
Two groups of users are very unhappy about the lack of a choice to disable updates.
1. Awkward, clumsy, confused, stupid, and other such users. Like me.
2. Users that are unable to use Supernova and--constantly provoked by the frequent upgrade popups--lose their self control and stab at the screen. Or somehow forget they have just switched to Thunderbird while using another application and are simply mistaken, thinking that the long awaited update to that other application is being offered.
All of us such users know that--on Windows--it is straightforward to disable updates.
Many of us suppose that--if the Thunderbird volunteers we support find it technically possible to disable updates in the Windows version--the are capable of finding a way to let users disable updates in the Mac version.
What a blessing that would be. Currently, we are left with going through the process of downgrading to 102.15. The last version before Supernova. When we <adjective> users click the wrong button.
AND OTHERWISE CLICK THE right button SEVERAL TIMES A DAY!
Thanks for your help, dear reader. We all await the fix.
Cordially, your Mozilla and Thunderbird Volunteers supporter,
