Hello, I have to deploy Firefox ESR on a computer park without AD server. So I use a remote Powershell script. My tests are good but I have a problem with the automatic update of Firefox when the user is not an administrator despite my configuration file => C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution\policies.json:

{ 

 "policies": {
   "DisableAppUpdate": true
 }

}

Firefox displays a message in the menu inviting the user to download a full setup instead of an update. How to do ? Is it possible ? thank you in advance

Can you post a screenshot of the message?

Is the policy definitely in place (about:policies)?
