I have normal firefox and beta version installed on a windows 10 machine in different directories. I want to disable automatic updates for the normal firefox but keep automatic updates for beta firefox enabled. When using the "DisableAppUpdate" registry setting/admx setting, it disables automatic updates for both. How can I set them separately?

kind regards Marc

Make sure each version is using its own profile.


How do you completely turn off update checks in Firefox v64? You can use a policies.json file to disable updates for all users. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md or https://winaero.com/blog/disable-updates-firefox-63-above/

You can use a policies.json file in the distribution folder in the Firefox installation folder instead as also listed in the article, so no need to use GPO keys in the Windows Registry. • https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson
