https://firefox-admin-docs.mozilla.org/reference/policies/extensionsettings/

update_disabled can now be set to false which forces updates (clunky I know)

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1930750

and if an addon is force installed by policy, updates are forced

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2037243

Note the Firefox 152 behavior changes:
- updates_disabled set to false now forces updates to stay enabled and
  locks the setting in the Add-ons Manager (bug 1930750)
- force_installed extensions are always updated automatically,
  regardless of updates_disabled (bug 2037243)
