Whenever Nightly updates, it automatically updates me to E10S versions that become available. I don't want this feature, as all it has done so far is give me trouble with basic things like menus not working properly, etc. Is there a way to reset Nightly so that it does NOT automatically download E10S updates and only downloads stable non-E10S updates instead?

I need more control over what Nightly automatically updates itself to, and when! Is this possible whilst still getting the benefits from stable ready for release updates as they become verified and available?

I have noticed that the E10S checkbox in the options menu becomes checked, when I never even touched it, why is E10S enabled by default when it shouldn't be? Procedurally written update code shouldn't ever do this to their users and this needs fixing ASAP!

See about:preferences

You can set the browser.tabs.remote.autostart prefs to false.

You can also try: browser.tabs.remote.autostart.disabled-because-using-a11y = true

Hello,

the browser.tabs.remote.autostart prefs is already false in nightly

the browser.tabs.remote.autostart.disabled-because-using-a11y to true works fine :-), but not exist by default, you have to create the preference in about:config (New > Boolean).


thanks
