1569914 - Make an option to Stop requesting Firefox updates

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Settings UI, enhancement)

Description

[F Spm]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.142 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I was trying to make Firefox as silent as it can. but failed to do so - too many requests are being sent and I got tired of trying to find an option to just stop Firefox from requesting anything

I am using Firefox as a browser behind application security proxy to assess my application, thus I want only to see traffic to my app and not updates/addons/news/etc.
There was an option to disable updates previously but after version 68 I am not able to stop firefox from littering my proxy traffic log.

Actual results:

Firefox still sends lots of useless requests to check for versions etc

Expected results:

No requests should be sent if I press 'do not update Firefox' option
I would like to see 'silent' mode, where only requests from/to my app are going back and forth through the browser.

At a short look of it this is an enhancement. For now I will set a component to it and let someone from dev's team to confirm that.
Thanks.
