Forced Updates - Can't Stop Them
Hi,
I am at my wits end with unmanageable updates.
I do a lot of research online and have tabs open and forms partially filled in a lot. This last week has seen two unavoidable updates that caused me to lose data I'd been working on in forms that did not re-populate. I first had updates set to install only when FireFox was not running, but it forced a restart anyway - and I lost an entire page of data I'd been working on.
So I changed it to let me choose when to install, but it forced a restart anyway. This is with no notice whatsoever. I open a new tab, and it says I need to restart to keep using FireFox - at that point, every tab I go to will not let me use it. I didn't even know an update had downloaded in the background.
This is a new behavior; I used to have a choice when to download (but not when to install). I'm sure I'm missing something - but what?? Can anyone help with any ideas? Thanks in advance!
