Firefox Keeps Wanting to Update
My Firefox is v102, 64-bit, on W10 Enterprise. ESR channel. It keeps telling me I need to update.
Under HELP, it fails to download whatever it is trying to update. Even though I got v102, I tried the online installer (mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new). Thinking about it now, I did not try an offline installer.
I been searching online and tried this policies.json file (github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#backgroundappupdate) with these entries:
{
"policies": {
"AppAutoUpdate": false
}
} {
"policies": {
"BackgroundAppUpdate": false
}
}
But still not help.
Is there anything else I can try? There seems to be no simple option to click to not check for updates temporarily.
Thank you.

Hi. I am not asking for custom modifications. I just stated what I tried to accomplish my goal: stop Firefox with prompting me for updates when I am updated. That code was just the last attempt I tried, after uninstall and reinstalling, etc.
You are on the ESR update channel because the current release is also a 102 version (102.0.1) ?

mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new will serve you the small online stab installer for current Release.
If you want the current Fx 102 ESR then go to https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/#product-desktop-esr and make sure 102.0esr is selected and not 91.11.0esr. This way you will get ESR and not Release and also get the full setup and not stub installer.
Thank you. My offline installer was for 102 that I eventually did try, but I was unaware of 102.0.1 floating around. I grabbed 102.0.1 and it worked. Thank you.
