I am afraid that I might install it by accident sometime when many updates are on the list…
In particular I definitely do not wish to install the “Provider for Google Calendar” version 1.0.3 update – it does not work on my (German) system.ĭespite the fact that I clear the “In Update einschließen” checkbox, the update appears in the update list daily (with the checkbox set). I strongly support the request from Shorn. Here, you can set on/off/default.Ībout:addons ☑ Exclude from updates (Updates: … never) Visit:Ĭlick on the ‘more’ link at the end of the add-on description. Yep – should be available for each individual extension!!Īctually, you can set it individually for each add-on. In other words, I should be able to disable updates for a specific extension. I turned off auto-update, but I wish there was a FF setting tell me updates are available so I can choose when to update them/the update. I have it set to false and the addons keep updating. Double click the item to turn it from true to falseįirefox will no longer check your add-ons for updates.If you wish to continue, click the button. A warning may be displayed if this is your first time modifying Firefox config.In Firefox’s location bar, type about:config.To turn add-on updates off entirely, follow these instructions: If you only wish to prevent add-on updates from being automatically installed, you may turn that functionality off from within the Add-ons Manager.
It is strongly recommended that you do not turn off add-on update checking, as you may miss critical security updates to your installed add-ons. Mozilla uses this information in aggregate for statistics and usage information, as described in the Mozilla Firefox Privacy Policy.
By default, Firefox will check the Mozilla Add-ons Gallery for updates, but individual add-on developers may set their add-ons to check their own websites for updates if they are not hosted with Mozilla.Įach of these checks contains the same information that every web request does: your IP address, browser version, operating system, locale, etc. Firefox checks for new versions of your installed add-ons once per day, and at other designated times, such as when upgrading to a new version of Firefox.
