How do I delete a downloaded update?
I keep getting a message that firefox wants to upgrade my firefox beta to the latest version of firefox beta. I do not want to do this since, when I did upgrade it, it crashed my internet. I couldn't get on even with Internet Explorer
This happened
Every time Firefox opened

If you've gotten the update downloaded and pending install, you'll need to close Firefox and delete it to stop it: See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update
After closing Firefox, Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\
To stop getting beta updates for Firefox 3.6.x, just reinstall the release version of Firefox from http://getfirefox.com
Any Firefox update should not affect your internet connection or other OS functionality, though.
