Hey all, I need to stick to 84.0.2 for a while and need to permanently disable update to 85 or newer builds! But the dumb Firefox downloads itself and install on next launch! Please help me permanently disable updates downloads even when opening about windows, via settings?! Thanks in advance.

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
