“I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that…” That’s the default position from the makers of the Firefox Web browser. <\/p>\n
It doesn’t matter that you’ve turned off all the browser’s Update settings (Options | Advanced | Update | “Never check for updates”) and so on. You’ll still be nagged. Regularly. With a slide-down into your screen, while you’re browsing, telling you the browser is ‘out of date’.<\/p>\n
There is a simple way to fix it, and though it took a long time to find it, and applying it worked for me:<\/p>\n
1) type about:config<\/strong> to get into Firefox’s deep settings.<\/p>\n 2) Search for the config entry extensions.shield-recipe-client.enabled<\/strong> and ensure it is set to False<\/strong>. A double-click should toggle the True\/False settings.<\/p>\n 3) Exit about:config and restart Firefox.<\/p>\n In the end, though, this nag prompted me to make the switch to the Opera browser.
