To the #Firefox developer that put the "update FF now" popup in ... the one that keeps popping up every 15 minutes no matter how many times I say 'no' ... the one that has no clear and simple "turn off this stupid reminder" config setting...

Yeah, you.

I need you to come over to my house and turn this shit off.

DM me for my address and to set up a time to get this fixed (before this weekend).

I don't know if anything changed in that area, but in the past you could disable that completely via "enterprise policy". See github.com/mozilla/policy-temp for a terse description. E.g. NixOS sets "DisableAppUpdate" for FF built by its build system.

@robryk

I'm aware, and I'll probably implement it sometime in the next 5-8 "no I don't want to update now" button-clicks because, let's face it, I'm probably not going to hear back from that FF dev.

Nevertheless, a hack-ish work-around that requires me to create a json file from scratch does not, in my book, qualify as a solution.
