Updating thunderbird -- No "Never ask" button

When TB finds a new update, it offers the possibility to view "what is new" there and offers two choices: update or ask later. Why there is no choice "Do not update"? Note, this is different from not checking for updates at all. I want to check, but I wanna decide not to make this update (and do not bother me again with THIS update) only tell when next update is available.

Developers, just for your info: not updating = security risk. Updating = risk of changed GUI and not usable software. My experience shows that the 2nd harms me much more.

If you have found what you would describe as a bug - a lack in facility, then you need to post a bug report.

but first check to see if someone has already created one.

I would assume that the update compares your current version with whether there is another updated version available and therefore will repeatedly tell you if one was available because you have that option selected.

The alternative is to not ask to be notified and manually check yourself by looking at this website page on a regular basis:

I notice that an update has recently been added: version 31.1.2

Toad-Hall, thanks for your explanations. I know all this. The reason why I wrote was that on https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/31.1.2/releasenotes/ you have a link "Tell us what you think", which looks like a possibility to send feedback to developpers. So I did.

If you decide to change this (can you file a bug about a bug on the TB web pages, instead of TB itself?) than dont just rename it to "Ask a question".

Users do need a way to send feedback to developpers. If filing a bug is the only way to do so, in your bug report please request to add a link "Send bug report/feature request/complain" to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/31.1.2/releasenotes/ becase it is very important to send feedback to developers. Desirably not like with Firefox, when you have Help|Submit Feedback, but never get a reply. :-(

I agree that the first link does imply that feedback can be offered and after reading your comment I offered advise. Firstly, how to report the idea as a bug requesting enhancement and secondly an alternative option which you could choose to use or ignore.
