OK, feels weird that someone not in corporation would disable updating 
completely, though I do understand wanting to choose when FF checks for 
updates (IE. no auto-update without notification, update only when FF is 
active...which is in options so no preference modification needed).

Of course someone might want to stick on some version that works better 
than modern one (for running some old necessary add-on for example), but 
those would be really specific cases.

BTW, in this message I have only "reply" and "reply to all", not "reply 
list" for some reason. All your previous messages in this thread have 
possibility to "reply list". Weird. (using TB 60.7.1). I apologize if I 
have posted directly to you sometimes.
