I start Firefox (Linux) via command line using a cron-job. When there is no update for the add-ons, it starts up normally, then I can tell it what to do. However if there is an update for an add-on, then it ask whether to take that update or not. I don't have the ability to detect the pop up window and choose no.
So, how can I disable all questions upon startup of Firefox?
Questions like:
I pretty much would like to keep my version of Firefox the way it is and not have any questions asked.
When I start Firefox, I would like to have it start nice and clean without any questions.
I went to about:config to search and disable all *.update.enabled
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);,
user_pref("browser.search.update", false);
user_pref("extensions.update.enabled", false);
Otherwise it derails my Watir tests.
Unless the linux version is very different, under settings > advanced > updates, there are settings you can disable, that are concerned with the automatic searching for updates for firefoxx and its add ons.
In "about:config" you can set "Browser.sessionstore.enabled" to false, in which case firefox will not restore your tab state after a crashed browsing session.
