Interesting. On which distro? I don't have this problem on Fedora. Here the update check is disabled by default.

In context, my comment was really more about dunking on Windows for not having proper package management. Firefox only "needs" that feature because it's working around Windows' deficiencies.

I'm pretty sure it's disabled on the M$ Store version.

Also, on macOS it's so annoying that literally every app checks for (and even wants to install) updates while I have the Brew package manager installed.
