I have FF set to "Check for updates but let you choose to install them". It has always asked me if I want to update. It's important because we are on very limited satellite data. But tonight, it got very squirrely and crashed my entire computer and when it came back it said FF was installing updates. My husband's did the same thing two days ago. It ate almost a day's worth of data allowance. WHY did it update when I have it set to ask me? And if it's going to entirely crash computers can we let the developers know? Edit: I think I may have downloaded this yesterday when it gave me notice, but had not re-started my computer. The update was for 58.0.2

Why would I want to install an older version? I'm sure the updates were for good reason. I'd just like to know why this update crashed my computer.
