Unable to Stop Automatic Firefox Update and Pop-up
Hi Team,
We have created a package for ESR version, but when we tested with older version i.e. 78.4.1. We are not able to stop the Automatic Mozilla Firefox update through script. Attaching the script command:
// Disable Auto Update
lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);
lockPref("app.update.auto", false);
lockPref("app.update.service.enabled", false);
lockPref("app.update.mode", 0);
lockPref("app.update.BITS.enabled", false);
lockPref("app.update.auto.migrated", false);
lockPref("app.update.checkInstallTime", false);
lockPref("app.update.staging.enabled", false);
lockPref("app.update.doorhanger", false);
lockPref("app.update.url", "https://google.com/");
Install command that we used is:
msiexec.exe /i "%~dp0FirefoxSetup78.4.1esr_x64.msi" INSTALL_MAINTENANCE_SERVICE=false /qn
======================================================================
echo Script to disable auto update of Firefox using Registry...
======================================================================
REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox /v AppAutoUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

echo Script for customization firefox ...

If exist "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\" copy /Y "%~dp0override.ini" "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\browser\" If exist "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\" copy /Y "%~dp0mozilla.cfg" "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\" If exist "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\" copy /Y "%~dp0local-settings.js" "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref"
Same worked perfectly with 68.10.
Does anyone has any idea what we are doing wrong.

Those preferences no longer work to disable automatic updates.
You need to disable updates using policy:

None of those other preferences are necessary.
