 Replying to [ticket:20083 yawning]:
 > If the updater is disabled, the UI elements associated with it should be
 hidden.
 `app.update.enabled` is about "update", not "updater", so everything is
 fine with it.
 Why do you want to disable auto-updates? Mozilla even made a
 `MozillaMaintananceService` to circumvent different "sandboxes" in order
 to update "sandboxed" browser. And you just want to go back to manual
 updates. Or do you have something better?
