Cancel Update Button

Open vejou opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

This is a feature request.

I started Waterfox today and found a nice display saying it was updating. This was probably an auto update like every browser usually does.

However, there should maybe be a way to cancel these. Right on the "Updating" page, you could just have a button to stop the update, if that's possible.

In the settings just change from automatically install to ask before install.

This doesn't actually do anything. I have this option set - have for a while - and it still shows a notification saying "Restart Waterfox to apply updates" - it NEVER asks if I actually want to install it.

Being on 6.5.10:

Downgraded to 6.5.9, and 6.5.10 installing itself despite "ask me" being checked:

This sounds like a real glitch. Should probably make an issue for that one.

This issue was just about cancelling updates that have already began.

It's directly related in that the "cancel update" button would be directly tied to the existing option "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" - where you can cancel/delete the downloaded update file - which already doesn't work the way it should.
