[Mozilla Enterprise] app.update.enabled deprecation

[Éric Périard]

I second that!

Does this also mean we’ll have to constantly update the ADMX template?

And is there a way to get notified when new templates are needed.

Some kind of ESR newsletter or update notification mailing list would be nice.

It could have the What’s New section.

Thanks for the heads up.  I just wanted to confirm, this change won’t be in ESR 60.3, correct?

If this is the way things are headed, I sure hope the next ESR will include documentation that lists what preferences are autoconfig-only, policy-only, or both.

Note that app.update.enabled was just removed from Nightly builds. This change will roll out in 63. To control updates you'll need to use the new enterprise policy system.

You could use autoconfig and set the values

app.update.enabled and app.update.auto

to false

But, how could it be possible?  I mean how to block the automatic updates?

Yes, they'll need to continue using Firefox 52 and not update.

Hello All,

    We currently use an NPAPI web phone (Zoiper). A number of our clients do not wish to switch over to IE preferring to continue using ESR 52.9 32 bit for the time being.

Will they need to disable updates currently set to the ESR channel to avoid prompts to update to 60.
