[Mozilla Enterprise] NPAPI

[denisrennes.gautier at orange.com]

Hello,

This finally works for us, even for the “Check for updates” button in Help/About. Thanks to all guys that provided the information:

Use a file autoconfig.js, to put into the defaults/pref subdirectory of the installation directory. It should contain the following two lines:
pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);

Use a file firefox.cfg to put in the installation directory. It should contain the following lines:
(I do not know exactly which line disables the “Check for updates” button but it works: tested on the version 52.8, it prevents the 52.9 update to arrive automatically or to be triggered by the user, so it should work also on the 52.9 to prevent the 60.2)
// Force the Firefox settings. (This first line is mandatory)

// Auto-update: disabled
lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);
lockPref("app.update.auto", false);
lockPref("app.update.service.enabled", false);

// Disable other Firefox update related settings
lockPref("app.update.badge", false);
lockPref("app.update.checkInstallTime", false);
lockPref("app.update.log", false);
lockPref("app.update.silent", false);
lockPref("app.update.staging.enabled", false);

// Disable button "Show Update History"
lockPref("app.update.disable_button.showUpdateHistory", true);

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.

Sincerely,
