(Firefox RR) Disable the users ability to choose to update later.

[Francis Reis]

Hello,

I manage Firefox for an organization and we recently have moved from deploying updates manually to re-enabling auto-update.

In the settings there are some radio buttons that let the user choose:

Automatically install updates or 

Check for updates but let you choose to install them

Ideally you would be locked to Automatic but I cannot find a setting in About:config

that will allow me to do this.

Is there a configurable setting for this I am not aware of?

Thank you

Hi Francis,

 

For our Windows devices I create a folder called distribution under C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. Under distribution I place a policies.json file. Contents for the change you are describing:

{

  "policies": {

    "AppAutoUpdate": true,

    "DisableAppUpdate ": false

  }

}

 

There is much more you can do – GPO is also supported – details here https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates. The above is just a very small minimal example.

 

Thank you,

Ryan V. Kasper
