That sounds like a bug to me.

  Maybe, but in some similar cases, it's marked as "won't fix": https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1502188 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1502188 If you configure Firefox to not automatically update, and then use, say, a package manager to update it, automatic updates will get re-enabled.

    On the other hand, Firefox does respect locked preferences after update. Debian sets both app.update.enabled and toolkit.telemetry.enabled locked to false.

    > If you configure Firefox to not automatically update, and then use, say, a package manager to update it, automatic updates will get re-enabled. That isn't what the bug report says - package managers don't use the Firefox installer. Are you talking about a real bug (if so, is it logged?), or are you spreading FUD?

      Depends on the package manager. On Windows both Ninite and Chocolatey use the Firefox installer and re-enable Firefox's automatic updates.

  I have this problem too. After a certain point, plausible deniability isn't plausible anymore. They are doing it on purpose.
