I got firefox quantum and it works great but it has this nasty habit of trying to update every few days. And this wouldn't be a problem except on puppy. Because on puppy, the way I use it, you don't want to have to re-save your savefile every couple days. You want to get it all set up and just have it work. It does everything in ram and you turn it off and next time you boot it up just the same. It makes a lot of sense. But this firefox kept telling me that my browser was out of date. And they don't let you disable that option anymore. It always checks for updates (at least in version 63) and gives you a pesky little pop up.
But I think I've gotten rid of it on my puppy, which makes me happy so I thought I'd share. You go to the directory that holds firefox and in /defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js replace whatever channel you're on with "default"
like this
Code: Select all
pref("app.update.channel", "default");
Disclaimer: I don't know how long it will work. Maybe there are better ways. I just found on http://kb.mozillazine.org/App.update.channel that it didn't update on that channel.
