Hello 👋 Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software I look forward to working with you on this issue |
Hi @hartsberger
What would be X months be ideally, in your opinion. Currently, it's set to 35 days. |
In my opinion 6 months would be sufficient. But this would still be interesting:
|
Are you able to set values in web extension local storage with your deployment method? You could set the time the last intervention was displayed to 2050 and it would never get shown. |
Can you please describe where this storage should reside in Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge? |
That's a good question, I don't know where the different browsers store this data. |
Well, then I am not able to set values in these storages. Back to topic: |
I've increased the time to 75 days now. I think understand your need. Basically, we would need to disable the update screen for company installations, ideally only for those that donate. What are you able to influence in your deployment process? Do you have other extensions where this works for example? |
I can only modify these things in my deployment process:

ADMX sounds like an interesting possibility: LLM explanation on using ADMX to set config values for web extensionsTo set a value using ADMX (Administrative Templates) that a web extension in Firefox or Edge can read, you need to configure the appropriate group policy settings. This involves creating or editing ADMX files to define policies and then applying these policies via Group Policy Management. Here's how you can do it: Step-by-Step Guide for Firefox
Step-by-Step Guide for Microsoft Edge
Floccus could then read the settings you have set in the json. |
@hartsberger what do you think? |
Closing due to lack of response. |
Describe the feature you'd like to request
As a followup of my first feature request (#1634)
It would be great when the user gets asked if future update notifications should be shown or not.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a section to the update page that lets the user decide if future update notifications should be shown or not.
(Just like the "Automated Error Reporting" options that are available on the update page)
Describe alternatives you've considered
I know that you rely on donations and that this feature request could reduce the amount of donations due to the user is not aware of it anymore.
Alternative 1:
Ask the user if update notifications should not be shown until:
This would be something between "update page doesn't annoy user" and "you still get donations".
Alternative 2:
If the Add-On is used on many clients in a company, give an admin somehow the option to turn of those messages globally.
Question: If you receive a (yearly) donation from a company, would it be possible to hide all the donation-messages?
Thanks
