Unsurprisingly from this company given its history, Mozilla Corporation’s previous (and still active I think) use of background tasks involved more spying on the users for business reasons even when the browser was not running, and not even warning the users in the update notes about the change:Ī good reason to not trust Mozilla again to run code that talks to them every 7 hours even when their malware browser is not running. The name will be adjusted for Beta and Stable versions of Firefox. The task, named Firefox Nightly Background Update followed by hex code in the Nightly version, is automatically installed by Nightly and will be reinstalled automatically as well if deleted. The task is configured to run every 7 hours, but only if Firefox is not running.

In other words: Firefox will use a scheduled task on the system level to run update checks, download updates and install the downloaded updates. If you need to disable this functionality, about:preferences should show a checkbox in the “Updates†section for you to disable, or you can set the BackgroundAppUpdate Firefox policy to false.ps forum. These tasks have been designed to not process updates when other Firefox instances are running, so they should not force restarts of running instances and they access (lock) the default profile for only a very short period of time so they should not prevent starting Firefox for regular browsing. These tasks invoke Firefox in a stripped-down headless “background task mode†that pumps the update cycle before exiting. The default Firefox profile (for each OS-level user) will schedule OS-level tasks that run periodically.
