Solved: ABP undesireably automatically updating

Post by DrCR »

For an outlier situation, I'm running a pre-Quantum Firefox install as a tertiary browser with ABP 2.8.2.

The ABP plugin undesirably automatically updates, however. Based on this thread, I tried adding 127.0.0.1 adblockplus.org to /etc/hosts, but the issue persists.

Edit: Marking thread as solved.

Update:
Not sure if it there's a better approach, but changing extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault and extensions.update.enabled from True to False seems to have done the trick.
