Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Any chance this could be disabled? I'm realizing I may run into this problem quite a bit

    [–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, probably easiest & best to uninstall and reinstall with a package manager. Anything that manages updates will likely have Firefox configured to not check for updates

    If you are a GUI kind of guy try your OS's app store.

    Otherwise apt, yum, homebrew or winget should do the trick :)

    Heres an informative forum post about it: https://superuser.com/questions/1370165/disable-or-control-upgrading-of-firefox

    I thought the problem was that they WEREN'T configured to not check for updates. Will look into this
