Hi,

I work with Windows-11 and I Use Firefox for Internet-browsing
When Firefox releases a new version, I always get the message: There is a New Version Available,

I want to stop that Firefox, give me that update-message, every time they release a new version
My Question is: What can i do that these messages from Firefox will stop
Thanks for all advice's.

You can go into Firefox's Settings and set Firefox to auto-update.

I "know" the messages come when set to manual update.
I "believe" the messages don't come when set to auto-update.

Hallo Again,

My point is, that i don''t want to update when a new version is available
I want to stay with the version i am working with at this moment.
At a later time i than can install the latest version when Is see that there are no more problems with the newest version..

So what i want is two things:

1. Keep the version active, which i am using now and i do not want to upgrade to the latest version
2. Whenever a new Firefox is available: Do not give me the Firefox-message of that announcement

I know in the past it was possible to set a switch in Firefox, with a number of choices,
One of them was: Do not Update to the newest version
Do not give me any update-message
