Constant requests to update my Firefox
I use 118.0.2 (64-bit) because I do not like the newer versions, but every time I open it I have to decline two consecutive Firefox popups urging me to upgrade to the newest version. Since I open Firefox dozens of times a day, these constant popups are driving me crazy. How can I stop them? Thanks.

While it's not recommended, you can try the following:
- Quit out of any running instances of Firefox
- Open (or create) this file in a text editor: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution\policies.json"
- Type or copy-paste the following into that file:
{
"policies": {
"ManualAppUpdateOnly": true
}
}
- Save the file making sure it does NOT end up with a `.txt` extension
- Start Firefox
You should switch to the 115 ESR version which still gets security updates.
What things don't you like about newer Firefox versions ?
