Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:97.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/97.0

Steps to reproduce:

Windows10, I have firefox 97.0.1 (64 bits) installed.
I added a C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\distribution\policies.json
containing :
--------------cut-here-----------
// Cf https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md
// https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/releases
{
"policies": {
"DisableAppUpdate" : true,
"AppAutoUpdate" : false,
"ManualAppUpdateOnly" : true,
// "AppUpdateURL" : "https://disney.com",
"BackgroundAppUpdate" : false,
"DisableFirefoxAccounts" : true,
"DisablePocket" : true,
"DisableTelemetry" : true,
// Pour verifier que ce fichier fonctionne :
"BlockAboutConfig": true
}
}
--------------cut-here-----------

Actual results:

But I still continue to see popups about firefox updates, and about:config is responding.

Expected results:

Never seen again updates invitation popups.

[Please don't tell it's bad to not enable automatic updates]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Enterprise Policies' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Enterprise Policies
Component: Enterprise Policies → General

Thunderbird also pops up an invite to update every two minutes. Is this policies.json file supposed to keep it calm also ?

JSON does not support comments. This will invalidate the entire JSON content.
