You realize this isnt true anymore right?

If you disable update via policy (which is the only way you can do it now that about:config method is removed), then going to "About Firefox" doesnt give you any options regarding updating.

Check your facts.

I did check them. I set my settings to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them." via the about:config method, which is the setting I assumed they were referring to.

I could still update from 72.0.0 to 72.0.1 from the About Firefox menu item, and from the about:preferences#general page. I'm running Mac OSX Catalina.

That said, Firefox is definitely doing what they can to make users keep auto updates on. I do think there should be a way to manually update if you've disabled both auto-updates and their update checks, without requiring the user running the installer, forcing you to toggle one of those settings off again.
