Comment:
Unfortunately, app.update.enabled = false really just means "Never check
for updates automatically" and so, as you point out, it does not remove
the UI entirely (app.update.auto means automatically check, download, and
install). Since I don't think we should change the meaning of existing
Firefox preferences, we will need to add a new pref such as
`app.update.hideui` or `app.update.manual.allowed`. Better suggestions are
welcome.
Also, as far as I know, there is no runtime support in the Mozilla code
for hiding the UI or completely disabling the updater, so we will need to
add that logic too.
