Multiple methods to update are already provided and even novice users know how to use at least one. STOP THE PUSH. PLEASE.What happened to the "NO" option? Business school?

How do you completely turn off update checks in Firefox v64? You can use a policies.json file to disable updates for all users. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md or https://winaero.com/blog/disable-updates-firefox-63-above/
You can use a policies.json file in the distribution folder in the Firefox installation folder instead as also listed in the article, so no need to use GPO keys in the Windows Registry. • https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You can use the ManualAppUpdateOnly policy in Firefox 87+ to enable only manual updates e.g. via "Help -> About Firefox".

Note that it is important to stay up to date and install the latest security patches.

What changed in Firefox 95-96 that makes you want to stay on Firefox 94? For security reasons, we always recommend keeping up with new releases, but we do hope we can help with settings changes or other workarounds if you have a specific issue with Firefox 95-96.
