I even think it happens in Opera(but I don't care about Opera). it's been happening over the last 2 or 3 ubuntu versions. I don't "think" this is a nightly ubuntu "unattended-upgrade", because then I would probably never see available firefox upgrades in software center, and I often do. or delay them? Over the years I have played with some of the numbers in about:config and extended them out to years, to no avail. (which seem to be different in timing from the ones coming from the software updater). at this point has anyone figured out how to prevent this? or stop the auto-background-upgrades.
which is EXTREMELY annoying/intrusive especially when you have a dozen or so tabs open that you are actually using. You can't get a working tab until you restart firefox. WHICH WOULD BE GREAT!!! but, I have the firefox that came stock with ubuntu.įor a little background (because I was shocked to know this user has never seen this before), whenever firefox updates in the background, every new tab looks like the attachment here. Has anyone else figured out if this can be prevented? I have been annoyed for a couple of years by being forced to restart firefox once an update has happened in the background.įor the most part I figured this to be a firefox issue, but I just had a conversation with another ubuntu user that believes that there may be a difference between the way mozilla-downloaded firefox and ubuntu-installed firefox handles updates.ĭoes anyone know if there is any truth to that? That person is under the impression that ubuntu-installed firefox does not do background updates. I am leaving the original question/update here for reference, for those that may be experiencing the same but not associating the symptoms. Which makes the suggested duplicate's solution applicable, but a bit more extreme than desired because I want other updates to happen. The problem has now been identified as: "how to prevent firefox from being updated automatically".
Through the process of reviewing suggestions for this problem and other testing,the focus has narrowed.
