i am using a predefined prefs.js file with updates disabled and compatibility check false for add-ons as well however each time i run firefox for the first time , i see a progress update window saying: checking comparability of add-ons its important that i do not see this at all. any inout, anything else to look into the pref.js file? i already have extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6 set to false and updates disabled. odd thing is when i launch FF, i see all the correct options configured, and upon relaunch this does not happen. seems its during the first time the userprofile is launched FF 3.6.17

You can try to set the pref browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone to ignore on the about:config page.

that did not work i ended up adding user_pref("extensions.update.url", ""); to my pref.js, so now when the browser launches for the first time, i see a blank window for less than 1 sec. which was an acceptable solution.. Thanks
