Details

When running my own Firefox build, from a read-only share (which  creates plenty
of other fun problems), the Advanced > Update preferences pane incorrectly shows
the Firefox item ticked.

Since updating is not possible, and the menu item in Help is disabled, it would
make a lot more sense to have this box unticked (while still greyed out).
Logic: checked by greyed out implies that the user is *forced* into updating,
whether they like it or not, which is not the case (they can't actually update
at all).

This is not a duplicate of bug 309183. This one deals with incorrectly enabled 
preferences. That one deals with a failed update.

reassigning to preferences component. james, are you still seeing this?
Component: Software Update → Preferences
The fix for bug 318855 will probably take care of this problem.
Depends on: 318855
QA Contact: software.update → preferences
We no longer disable update checks due to bug 407875. Duping...
