>>>   My Info:   Win7_64, Nightly 49, 32bit, ID 20160526082509
When I test Nightlies, I sometimes remember that I must disable auto-update to avoid problems.
However, when I open about:preferences#advanced -> Update, all options are grayed out, and
browser never cares to explain why I can't disable auto-update.

>>>
STR_1:
1. Create Firefox 2 profiles
2. Launch 1st profile
3. Launch 2nd profile
4. In 2nd profile open about:preferences#advanced -> Update

AR:
 All options are grayed out. UI tells me that I can't avoid automatic update.

ER:  Good UI, i.e. either X or Y
 X) Options shouldn't be grayed out
 Y) Firefox should explain what's happening and why I can't avoid automatic update, as it looks
