How do I prevent firefox installing the latest version on my system?

cor-el პასუხგაცემული

I have done a custom install and selected the option to not install the maintenance service. I have also verified that my update is checked to "never update". When I start firefox from a fresh boot of my system, it auto-updates me to version 34.

Is there anyway to prevent this??

I am getting fed up with always uninstalling firefox and re-installing an older version.

Hello,

In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :

  1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
  3. Look for this options app.update.auto, app.update.enabled, app.update.silent change their value to false

Also:

Those values are set to false and yet firefox will continue to update every new version.

Still waiting for a solution here........

Try this Disable Auto-update add-on.

If you open the "Help > About" then an update can be downloaded automatically.

If files already have been downloaded then you need to remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
