2.5 Set Update Wait Time Prompt

Information

This setting determines the amount of time, in seconds, which the system will wait before displaying the Software Update dialogue box (after an unobtrusive alert has already been shown).
Encouraging the user to update software as soon as possible mitigates the risk that a system will be left vulnerable.

Solution

Perform the following procedure:

* Open the mozilla.cfg file in the installation directory with a text editor

* Add the following lines to mozilla.cfg:

lockPref("app.update.promptWaitTime", 172800);
