OK, I am very angry ....

FF asks me to update, when i launch the browser, and it continues doing so when browsing. I HATE THIS BEHAVIOUR and I know how to use a computer.

     I do not need to be mollycoddled by some 2bit computer company that has no idea what Professional computer users need. 
         Bare in mind I am in the mood to migrate away from FF completely without a tick button answer. 
         I am also in the mood to take drastic action if this is not resolved. IT SHOULD BE IN THE SOFTWARE IF I SELECT IT.

I want to use FF without an automatic update, which the software DOES NOT ALLOW (removed threat as per [rules and guidelines here).

I am running FF 107.01 (i don't care if its out of date).

Previous .json answer did not work. neither did going into settings.

only a complete ban on updates will suffice. (i will update myself as i feel like it.) I will not tolerate another answer.

FIX IT NOW!!!!

Keep in mind that if you skip updates then you may have to download the full version and not a small minor update. I.e. you can't update from 107 to 109 via a minor update of about 12 MB.

This is a support forum of volunteers here. Please refrain from threats of violence and demands here as per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mozilla-support-rules-guidelines#w_language-and-conduct as you can still get your point across without the use of such.

Especially if you want to get help as people would more likely ignore the thread and spend time helping in more pleasant threads.
