fine with it.
I don't care what the pref is called, or if it's a separate pref, env var,
or whatever, as long as it's possible.
> Why do you want to disable auto-updates? Mozilla even made a
`MozillaMaintananceService` to circumvent different "sandboxes" in order
to update "sandboxed" browser.
Because a sandbox that lets the sandboxed app re-write itself is terrible.
> And you just want to go back to manual updates.
No.
> Or do you have something better?
Yes.
