Question about updates

Unread post by tlaloc77 » 2018-03-14, 09:41

I have set the update policy to "Download updates but let me decide ..." I'm still using 27.7.2 but now Palemoon is nagging me (the 2nd time within 2 hours today) about that it cannot update.

Why is that?
It shouldn't try to update. It also can't (likely) because I use it as a non-privileged user all day long.
Do I need to do anything else?

Well, that's the option you choose:
"Check for updates but let me decide..." - it checks for an update and asks for decision.

If you want to update manually, without notifications, just check the "Never..." option.

It seems that it informs me that it cannot update because of permissions, instead of just telling me that there's an update available.

That's not exactly what I want but it seems nearer to what I want. Thank you!
