added file for preventing auto update
== Disable auto update ==
 
Thunderbird processes the config files in reverse alphabetical order.
Create a file called, for example, all-thunderbird-custom-disable-updates.js, saved in %PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla thunderbird\defaults\pref\, containing the following:
 
<source lang="xml">
// ***********************************************************************
 
// * *
 
// * all-thunderbird-custom-disable-updates.js - *
 
// * Thunderbird custom global configuration to disable updates *
 
// * *
 
// ***********************************************************************
 
 
// Options -> Advanced -> Update -> Automatically check for updates to : Installed Extensions and Themes
 
pref("extensions.update.enabled", false);
 
 
 
// Options -> Advanced -> Update -> Automatically check for updates to : Thunderbird
 
pref("app.update.enabled", false);
 
 
 
// Options -> Advanced -> Update -> Automatically check for updates to : Search Engines
 
pref("browser.search.update", false);
 
</source>
