The feeling is mutual

The more enlightened is the elite, the more perverted is its mind. Such are enlightened ivory-tower dwellers from Mozilla foundation who believe that they can terrorize their dwindling user base with update nagging pop-up in the right-top corner of the screen.

That nagging pop-up would have been tolerable were it not bugged. Sometimes it does not visibly appear on the screen but it is there, it stole the focus, and it locked the FF window up. To realize it I first had to get some gray hair. Only after some clicking and hitting Esc button it shows up.

Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is to go to Mozilla Foundation's bug tracker or support forum and to ask how to disable the nagging. But they are only there to tell us that nagging is absolutely necessary, for our own good.

Bottom line is that if someone does not give a fuck about our opinions, then we are entitled not to give one about theirs.

After Mozilla Foundation gradually made useless the options setting 'never check for updates', then eliminated the policy JSON file's same option, and finally removed the function from about:config options to never check for update, the only way to shut FF up is to set to true the option of silent updates. Google it.
