I thought firefox folks would be smarter than IE, chrome and the like.

All I need is to update when I'm ready, I don't need a pop up every hour whining about updating, if I needed this hassle, I could use chrome which won't even bother asking. Please publish a reliable way of stopping this stupid pop up.

How do you completely turn off update checks in Firefox v64?
You can use a policies.json file to disable updates for all users.
