Is there a way to turn-off messages suggesting I update my current version of PaleMoon?
I prefer to decide when I want to update my version, even if the development team believes its 'urgent' that I do so.
Unfortunately, the way these reminders are currently configured, unless I a) notice that I'm getting one of these messages,
and b) notice that the default response to the question is preset to 'Yes', I may (as I have twice in the last few weeks)
find that I'm stuck doing the update, either right away, or upon the next re-start of Pale Moon.

One of the reasons I've been such a big supporter of Pale Moon is because the developers have always respected the right of their users to choose when and/or whether configuration changes happen, unlike Mozilla (and many others) who presume the right to disable add-ons and sundry other 'distro-admin prerogatives' whenever they please. This may seem like a minor complaint to some. To me, it matters.

I hope you never have an issue cause we won't help you if that is your choice.
