App.update.mode

Background

This preference determines which updates can be downloaded in background, and which ones requires an user prompt to be applied.

Possible values and their effects

0

download all updates without any prompt

1 (default)

download all updates only if there are no incompatibilities with enabled extensions, prompt otherwise

2

download minor updates only, prompt for major updates, regardless of whether or not all enabled extensions are compatible.

Caveats

• app.update.enabled and app.update.auto must be set to true for this preference to take effect.
