Comment (by boklm): Replying to [comment:4 mcs]: > Tor Browser team: Do we want to provide a way to disable the update check, e.g., by re-implementing support for the old `app.update.enabled` pref? We would need to ensure that that pref is checked very early; for example, the UpdateService JS constructor calls a getter that causes the file system permission fix to be attempted on Windows, which would trigger the "manual update required" prompt. Mozilla removed the capability for users to disable the update check because they do not want users to run outdated browsers. In the blog comments there were a few people unhappy about not having an easy way to disable updates. In some cases it can be useful to have a way to disable the updater, so I think having support for the `app.update.enabled` pref would be nice. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32418#comment:5> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
