Hello,

First off, I have been trolling the internet for a few days trying to find the answer to this with no avail.

I want to be able to keep Firefox up to date without any user interaction, or having to launch the application. I DO NOT want to see "Firefox is installing updates" splash screen when i try to launch the browser, i want this installed already hence what the background installer is suppose to be for.

When I launch Brave it NEVER asks me to update, nor do i see any screen that says installing updates, etc.. , yet it is always up to date. This is the behavior that I want in Firefox. I should not have to see a splash screen when i launch Firefox saying installing updates when I have it set to background updates which should be silent. So, Firefox will never be up to date unless someone opens it.

I have set install updates, when not running and use background service to install.

I also changed the config IF needed for the following in about:config: user_pref("app.update.langpack.enabled", false); user_pref("app.update.auto.migrated", true); user_pref("app.update.background.enabled", true);

I completely installed nightly version for the first time to test out settings as it updates frequently and is using a new profile( FF profile that is). Yet this issue continues to happen where I see a splash screen, sometimes the browser launches, then closes, then that splash screen pops up saying that it is installing updates then the browser re-opens again. This is sloppy behavior and needs to be corrected

What is the point of having a background installer if it does not work as a true background installer?

As I have stated This happens on three different machines and version versions of Firefox. I have not found anything for this as all my search results come up regarding installing Firefox silently from cmd, or enable auto updates. I want a completely silent update similar to how brave/chrome works.

Thank you for your time.

Beyond the setting in firefox to notify if updates that is the only control you have on the browser. There are others steps to stop updates until the person doing the updates checks for them...

The OP wants to do silent updates. The OP does not want to stop updates, nor does the OP want to do manual updates.

Note that Nightly builds update twice per day (or more in case of a respin) and Beta/DE update twice per week, so if you do not want extra updated then leave with the current release. Updating in the background only works properly (silent) if Firefox isn't running when the task that schedules the update check isn't running.
