Yes, you're right: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
01~>cat /usr/lib64/firefox/distribution/policies.json |
| 37 |
{ |
| 38 |
"policies": { |
| 39 |
"DisableAppUpdate": true |
| 40 |
} |
| 41 |
} |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
The prediction is, if I were to remove that file, the banner would go |
| 44 |
away. I'll try that at some point. |
