If you'll configure FF only, then avoid following config/setting that are for TB.ĭISABLE AUTO-UPDATE VIA CONFIG SETTINGS IN THUNDERBIRD/FIREFOX GUI:ĭisable auto update via Thunderbird's (or Firefox's) GUI (graphical user interfacce): If you'll configure TB only, then avoid following config/setting that are for FF. TB/FF, etc apps MUST-NOT act like they are the owner of the computer where the app is used/running, TB/FF,etc app must follow+respect my/user's choice/preferences in my/user's computer.ĭisable the auto-update (or app update) process used by (mozilla) Thunderbird = TB, email-client software, and Firefox = FF, web-browser software. It can check for update & can also SHOW me NEW VERSION NUMBER, and can also WARN me to update.īUT IT MUST ASK ME FIRST, before running ANY update. If i need-to, or when i will need-to, then i myself can manually select button in TB's GUI to check for updates, and then i can click on 'Update' to force an update process,īut otherwise, it(TB) must not AUTO UPDATE.Īnd, during installation of (mozilla) Thunderbird = TB, it did not obtain my consent to do auto-update of TB in my computer. So, i want to avoid that 'auto update' process, for now. Existing address books in MAB format (using a Mork database) will be converted. Address books are now stored as SQLite databases to prepare for future addressbook improvements.Then downgrading (from v78 series back into v68 series) sometime is very complicated (or sometime not-possible without data-loss), if sufficient backup not-made, etc. TB version v68 series uses GPG based external-tools instead of builtin OpenPGP features, ofcourse GPG follows OpenPGP standards.Īnd, if TB automatically updates from v68 series (v68.12.0 or v68.12.1, etc) version into v78 series or later version (v78.4.0, etc), etc, Please show different options to disable auto-update.Ĭurrently (at the time of writing this post) TB's last version is v78 series, it is using builtin RNP based OpenPGP features, instead of GPG. What settings/preferences change are needed ? How can i disable the AUTO UPDATE process/function automatically used/applied by the (Mozilla) Thunderbird= TB (email-client) app ? for-example in v68 series: v68.12.0 or v68.12.1, etc ?
