Hello:

I have firefox 17.0.10 ESR in openSUSE 12.2 installed from mozilla repo.

I have two questions:

1. How can I disable checking of updates? The previous option to set it (in Preferences/Advanced/Update) is gone.

Addon or application updates? Firefox disables application updates automatically if it is installed in a location where the user has no write access which should be the case for you if you use an RPM package. In addition the updater is disabled in any case in openSUSE package since you don't want to update w/o rpm even as root.

I not only want to disable automatic updates but even checking if an update exist. I do not like the annoying "you should update" messages either at firefox startup. Is it disabled too in suse version?

It should and I've never ever seen such a message.

...

And another note: Firefox 17esr is out of maintenance and if you don't have a very good reason you should update to 24esr or current 26.0.

The original reason was that previous 17ESR had the option to disable check for updates. I did not think that they change options in the same version.

If you ever had that option within the last 5 years you have run a mozilla.org download instead of an openSUSE package AFAICT. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'll butt in here and comment that you are being just a tad 'flippant' in being annoyed by messages telling you to update/upgrade FF. I run the Nightly version of FF (which at the moment is at version 29.0a1) so I expect updates every day but the versions of Firefox available from oS are more often than not (TM) repairing a security problem or similar and therefore should NOT be ignored. But, "It's your life".........

And another note: Firefox 17esr is out of maintenance and if you don't have a very good reason you should update to 24esr or current 26.0. The original reason was that previous 17ESR had the option to disable check for updates. I did not think that they change options in the same version.

Thank you,
