In MY extensions, the update drop down list (square) last entry says reset all addons to update manually. My Sons SAME Firefox last entry says update all addons to update automatically. How do I change his to remove the "reset all addons to update automatically" and add "reset all addons to update manually"?

You will have to be on his profile and his account to change the add on update preferences. It is in the gear icon in the addons page. You can get there from the Firefox Menu Icon and clicking on Add ons.
