What's the value of the following prefs on this system
app.update.interval
app.update.timer
app.update.idletime

Comment 2

[Armen [:armenzg]]

interval 600
timer 6000
idletime 60

shall I set it back to its default values?

Comment 3

Definitely... there are several protections in the code to try to prevent this from happening but there are a couple where it is extremely difficult to protect against this from happening when the values are too low. Report back in this bug if it stops happening.

Comment 4

Updated to defaults.

I will report back if I don't see it happening anymore.

Comment 5

[Armen [:armenzg]]

I think it has value to say that many nightlies have been triggered yesterday and today.
I probably ignored the first prompt (which I do recall) and then when prompted again there were many accumulated nightly updates.

Has this happened since you reset the prefs?

Comment 7

[Robert Strong (they/them - no direct email)]

Quite certain it was due to the prefs especially since this has happened numerous times when QA sets the values way too low so resolving -> invalid
