    For the update notifications... it will probably keep notifying you until you're... up-to-date.
    We are on version 90.0 at the moment.

    You can disable automatic updates entirely by dropping this "distribution" folder into the...
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox folder.

    As for the rest... I couldn't tell you.


    distribution.7z



    Removing the "distribution" folder will enable automatic updates again.


    Side note: Each time you DO update Firefox, it deletes the "distribution" folder.
    So... save it somewhere safe, so you can reuse it, after an update.




    With the "distribution" folder in place, you will see this on Help > About...

    How to Disable Firefox Updates and Update Notifications

    may offer a bit more. As I have Pro I can use the Group Policy option. But you have Home, so you can't. I'm currently using v88, and no notifications.

    Tbird- do you mean pdfs as attachments? Those should be handled by whatever you have set as your pdf reader.

    I wish to view pdf file within the email program just like outlook, but of course i can choose to open with firefox to view it.
    I found one but it's for older version of thunderbird.

    And thank you for your reply.

    Still no clarification as to whether you mean a link or an attachment.

    I like the "Translate Web Pages" extension.
