Hello – I am very happy with the present version of Firefox - do I "HAVE" to Update or can I keep it as it is, which I prefer to do?? Kind regards – Dave Wyatt

I have heard that some people have lost information or are not happy with the new version - I am only a casual user and happy with the way it is now and would like to keep it the same - can I do that??

Firefox menu > Options. In Options, click Advanced tab. UNDER Advanced Tab, click the Update tab. Under "Automatically check for updates to", un-check Firefox. Under "When updates to Firefox are found", select Ask me what I want to do.

This will make sure neither Firefox updates automatically nor does it prompt to update.

But one thing Firefox 5 is unsupported. That means you would not get any security fixes for any vulnerabilities in Firefox 5.
