DisableAppUpdate : 'Turn off application updates within Firefox.' Thunderbird Software Updater Help Improve CATEGORY None yet.On Linux, the file goes into firefox/distribution, where firefox is the installation directory for firefox, which varies by distribution or you can specify system-wide policy by placing the file in /etc/firefox/policies. On Mac, the file goes into Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/distribution. On Windows, create a directory called distribution where the EXE is located and place the file there. Policies can be specified using the Group Policy templates on Windows, Intune on Windows, configuration profiles on macOS, or by creating a file called policies.json. To get the latest Linux binary of Thunderbird for OpenSUSE, go to the official Thunderbird website. So, much like Debian and Fedora, you must download the Linux binary if you want the absolute latest release. Specifically, there are some pre-built policy templates with instructions on install/configuration: OpenSUSE Linux provides official updates to Thunderbird, but they only provide version 60.

I don't know about changing this behaviour via the Config Editor - is not in my version of Thunderbird, and is always recreated and set to true if I try to remove it- but would a policies.json file work? I'm not sure if Thunderbird also respects policies.json like Firefox does, but that might be an option.
