As in title - is there a way to opt out from getting beta updates on Firefox Developer Edition? I don’t want to constantly restart my browser, also it crashes a lot most likely because I’m always on beta version (currently on 117.0b8).

    Alright, I figured it out myself - you need to change app.update.channel in about:config to release. TIL that developer edition has its own update channel called ‘aurora’ which is even more experimental than ‘beta’.

      When I changed it in about:config, About Firefox still showed update channel aurora. So I changed it in channel-prefs.js file, now there is no update channel mention in About Firefox.

          How’s your browser doing? Mine doesn’t want to update. It says download new version from website.
