I want to turn off your automatic updates. I am not ready for the new version yet. I was using v58 for a good reason, and now I have v81+. I am not ready to learn the new ff. I want it shut off. For 3 weeks, every time I reboot, my version of FF changes. I want it to stop, as I spend a great deal of time getting back to my older version

How do you completely turn off update checks in Firefox v64? You can use a policies.json file to disable updates for all users. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md or https://winaero.com/blog/disable-updates-firefox-63-above/

You can use a policies.json file in the distribution folder in the Firefox installation folder instead as also listed in the article, so no need to use GPO keys in the Windows Registry. • https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson
