Description

[david.martin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

After update to TB 68 from TB 52, the option to disable TB autoupdate disappears. Only have the option of autoupdate or seek for updates and choose when to install.

Actual results:

Our users don't have administrative rights, and when a new version of TB is notify, the user clic yes I want to update, and because don't have rights, another installation of other TB is installed on his profile. So have 2 TB, one in program files and other in his profile, and automaticly another TB profile (email account configuration) is created but in other folder with no emails account configuration. So, the user thinks have lost all his email. We have to uninstall the new version on his profile, and start thunderbird.exe -profilemanager to restore the rigth profile.

Expected results:

It have to give the option to don't update TB. In Firefox qe have that option even througt admx administrative templates.
