The dnf clean all isn't harmful, but it wastes time and bandwidth if there are no problems. It requires that you download the metadata for all repositories every time. If you don't reboot after a kernel is updated, you will be running the currently running kernel until you do update. That is, a kernel update requires a reboot in order to run the new kernel. > > Nevertheless, Firefox demands its own updates, including its > own reboot, whensoever it damn pleases, and won't lift an electronic > finger till it gets its way. > > Does this make some esoteric sense that I don't see? > > If not, how do I eliminate or take control of its irritating > habit? At some point you must have installed firefox outside of fedora, which defaults to automatic updates. You can fix this by going into edit->settings->general If you page down, near the bottom there will be a setting to allow or disable automatic updates. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
