Good morning,
Mozilla has changed its update service for Thunderbird.
Shouldn't we add this:
Code: Select all
// Désactive la mise à jour automatique
Pref("app.update.enabled", false);
// pour être sûr que la mise à jour automatique soit désactivée
Pref("app.update.auto", false);
Pref("app.update.mode", 0);
Pref("app.update.service.enabled", false);
in the mozilla.cfg file?

Good morning,
The tests performed did not work.
Based on the information presented here (via the mailing list):
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/tb-e...01551.html
I was able to test and confirm the suspension of updates.
The procedure:
- Create a distribution folder within the policies.json folder
- Enter this code:
Code: Select all
{
"policies": {
"AppUpdateURL": "http://127.0.0.1/",
"DisableAppUpdate": true,
"DisableFirefoxStudies": true,
"DisableTelemetry": true
}
}
It is functional for Firefox since version 63 and Thunderbird 68.
A snippet of code that copies the policies.json file to the correct location:
You need to create a `dis` folder in the package that contains `policies.json`
Code: Select all
#Initialisation des variables pour les chemins d'origine de destination
targetdirdis64 = makepath(programfiles,'Mozilla Thunderbird\distribution')
#Initialisation des variables pour les chemins d'origine du paquet
folderdis = makepath('dis')
#Si le dossier distribution existe
if isdir(targetdirdis64):
filecopyto(folderdis+'\\policies.json',targetdirdis64)
else :
mkdirs(folderdis)
filecopyto(folderdis+'\\policies.json',targetdirdis64)
This is displayed in the options:

To disable Thunderbird's upgrade, we added the following to the package:
registry_set(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,'SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Mozilla\\Thunderbird','DisableAppUpdate',1,REG_DWORD)
And it works.
Apparently, policy rules can also be written to the registry.
