It did not work for a long time

Then I blocked it and got this constant nag pane "Firefox cannot update to the latest version". all. the. time.

I finally found out some magic on macos:

  sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox DisableAppUpdate -bool TRUE
  sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox EnterprisePoliciesEnabled -bool TRUE
that got rid of the nag pane

Interesting reference re: the settings URL: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1598562#c13

Reasoning there seems good enough but I’m not sold on it being absolutely required.
