Auto - Updates

Auto-Updates
app.update.autoUpdateEnabled. (Boolean) Setting this option to true enables Firefox to check at regular
intervals for updated versions of Firefox. Of late the main Firefox releases have been due to security
issues and as such it would be recommended to leave this set to true. If you don’t require this
functionality for some reason, set this to false. Note – This is the same as the Software Update, Firefox
option in the Advanced tab.
app.update.url. (String) The entry here specifies where to check for updated extensions. You shouldn’t
need to alter this.
app.update.interval. (Integer) The value entered here specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, that
Firefox waits before checking for updates. The default being 86400000, aka 1 day. Of late the main
Firefox releases have been due to security issues and as such it would be wise to leave this at the default
to ensure you get notified of such updates ASAP.
extensions.update.autoUpdateEnabled. (Boolean) Setting this to true enables checking for updated version
of the extensions/themes. Set this to false to disable such checks, this isn’t recommended. Note – This is the
same as the Software Update, #my Extensions and Themes option in the Advanced tab.
extensions.update.url. (String) The entry here specifies where to check for updated extensions. You
shouldn’t need to alter this.
extensions.update.interval. (Integer) The value entered here specifies the amount of time, in
milliseconds, that Firefox waits before checking for updates. The default is 604800000 (7 days). This is a
sufficient value as extension updates aren’t likely to be of critical importance, though feel free to
increase/decrease this if necessary.
