Cardbook for example, click on the extension in settings, scroll down the page and there is "automatic updates x default o On o off" Just click of off. cardbook *was* having issues. https://gitlab.com/CardBook/CardBook/-/issues/1771 has a new version in the next to the last comment. 98.4 Seems to fix a lot of my issues. -- Linux Mint 22, Cinnamon 6.2.9, Kernel 6.8.0-51-generic Thunderbird 128.5.2esr, Mozilla Firefox 134.0 Alan K.
