How to disable automatic updates in Thunderbird Version 45.2.0?
Automatic updates are enabled by default in Thunderbird Version 45.2.0 and I would like to disable this option and configure the software for manual updates.
I'd appreciate if someone could provide an answer.

As most people use Windows OS, all info is always stated for Windows OS unless the person states otherwise.
There is a menu difference on a Mac. Options = Preferences via Menu Bar: Thunderbird > Preferences > Advanced' > Update' tab Or via Mail Toolbar: 'Menu icon > Preferences > Preferences > Advanced' > Update' tab

Suggest you select: 'check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them' click on OK
This is what I use. then I get the pop up remeinder that a new version is available, but I can choose the pop up 'Ask later' option to install it at a later time when it is more convenient.
Hi Toad-Hall,
Thanks for your response but my version of Thunderbird does not have an "Options" choice neither in "Tools" nor in "Menu icon"
I am attaching both screen-shots of the "Tools" and "Menu icon" showing there is nothing call "Options in them.
For clarification, I am running Thunderbird in a Mac.
