After the update yesterday, we've re-downloaded ESR 52.9 on office computers and changed our update settings to "Never Check for Updates." Both "Use Background Service" and "Automatically Update: Search Engines" are unchecked.

However, on some computers, the newest browser has automatically installed itself. We require the older browser to use the Silverlight plugin and we don't want our browser being updated without asking staff permission.

Hi, if using Silverlight please use a Microsoft product to continue using it. It is a depreciated plugin that no other browser supports.
