Hi Team,

I want to disable check for update button for Mozilla Firefox Gaeilge 60.0.1 X64 but I am not able to do that using mozilla.cfg file. firefox is not able to read that file while launching so not taking the setting and not disabling the button.

I want to disable the autoupdate for "Never check" and check for update button as well to stop application from autoupdate.

Thanks,

Have you considered using group policy (Windows) or policies.json (Mac & Linux) to accomplish this instead?

If Firefox can't read the file, then it's possible that you have not setup the AutoConfig file correctly. Ensure that you have the autoconfig.js in the defaults/pref directory of the Firefox installation folder and the firefox.cfg file in the top level of the Firefox installation folder. Also remember that the first line of the firefox.cfg should be a comment.

For more information, see the Customize Firefox using AutoConfig support documentation.

Can you post the content of mozilla.cfg ?
