How to Disable Update Notifications (91.6.0)
Hello friends, is there an updated way to disable the daily update notification window that appears? ("A new Thunderbird update is available")
I currently don't wish to update Thunderbird, and the published methods don't work any longer such as changing app.update.doorhanger in config.
Is there a newer way to disable these notifications, or is a backgrade required?
Thanks for your time

I changed app.update.interval to 3600000 seconds to reduce the frequency of the notifications (from the default 86400 seconds...24 hours) but would like to know how to just defeat the notification if possible.

You need to create policy on computer. In windows search type : regedit and select 'Registry Editor'. You need this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies You need to create a key called 'Mozilla' and then create a key called 'Thunderbird' The 'Thunderbird' then needs a new 'DWORD 32 bit' (do not create a 64 bit) which you name as 'DisableAppUpdate' and then edit it to give a value of 1 It's not as bad as that sounds - see image below for more info on where this is done, what it looks like and how to create those keys etc. Please use the image below as a guide on how to create a policy.
@Toad-Hall, thank you...I will do this. Appreciate your time!
