This browser keeps trying to update from version 28 to version 31 even with all boxes checked not to do so. Then all of the sudden without my authorization or consent this darn thing has updated to version 31 which is inexcusably too slow and a pain in the neck to customize, so I end up having to uninstall the browser and manually have to delete all traces of the browser before I can reinstall version 28 which will work beautiful for about ten to twelve hours and all of the sudden then damn thing starts trying to update and everything slows down to where the browser is absolutely useless. I've used Firefox almost since the day it came out, but if this issue does not stop I will no longer use Firefox.

Hello,

To find the correct solution to your problem, we need some more non-personal information from you. Please do the following:

  1. Use ONE of these methods to open the Firefox Troubleshooting Information page:
    • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click on help Help-29 and select Troubleshooting Information.
    • Type about:support into the Firefox address bar and press the enter key.
  2. At the top of the Troubleshooting Information page that comes up, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
  3. Now, go back to your forum post, right-click in the reply box and select Paste from the context menu (or else click inside the reply box and press the Ctrl+V keys) to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

If you need further information about the Troubleshooting information page, please read the article Use the Troubleshooting Information page to help fix Firefox issues.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello, for your 28.0 use the next code in a user.js file in your profile :

// turn off application updates: user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);

http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file

(probably you have it that way in about:config but the important is the user.js file, firefox first read from user.js file)

Note that Firefox 28 is no longer secure. If you don't want to use the new design you can revert it. see:

thank you
