There was a previous way by going through the Options menu to disable updates but after disabling it through there, when you would go to Help > About Firefox, it would update regardless of that setting.


Reminder: Staying on an older version of Firefox compromises your security and privacy. Please try to stay up to date.


You can set these prefs in about:config to disable automatic updating:
app.update.auto - false
app.update.enabled - false
app.update.silent - false

Another thing to do would be to go into about:config again and set these prefs to blank. Right click > Modify > delete existing > OK.

Your answer was exactly what's wrong with this browser, you did not address my complaint about update pop-ups, just a little lip service encouraging updating. Goodbye
