Would Mozilla consider reinstating that preference. Organizations like the one 
I work for rely on that preference because of the times we push  out new 
Firefox versions. We need the ability to disable Automatic updates easily. My 
organization uses CCK2 and have no dates set to start using GPO policies.

Thanks,

Notifications

You have to use the JSON file or policies.

We've removed the ability to easily turn off updates with preferences, as it 
was creating problems where users were stuck on older versions.

Hello,

in FF 60 ESR i used

lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);
lockPref("app.update.auto", false);
lockPref("app.update.service.enabled", false);

to disable automatic Updates of Firefox. But this does not work anymore. I’ve 
read that “app.update.enabled” has been removed and found this reddit post 
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/bxuvsn/how_to_completely_block_update_checks/
 where the solution is to create a file called "policies.json" but it would be 
nice to stick with the config.cfg file.

Please help. ☺

Mit freundlichem Gruß
