I understand how you feel. I didn’t like where Firefox Quantum was going. So, I stopped updating at v54. So far, no real issues. And I still have my Legacy add-ons.

I have noticed, however, that some websites don't work properly.


Note: With some versions of Firefox, the data files are not backward compatible. If there is an issue, create a new profile and we can tell you how to recover the data.

Step one: 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 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You can use the ManualAppUpdateOnly policy in Firefox 87+ to enable only manual updates e.g. via "Help -> About Firefox".

Note that it is important to stay up to date and install the latest security patches.

For installing the upcoming Firefox 100.0 version on Windows 7, see this article as it involves installing KB4474419 to support the SHA-256 digest that is used for signing the Firefox 100 installer (SHA-1 is no longer used in Firefox 100).

I think to keep on using new versions and accepting the update is more wise , because once before I accepted on installing the update of Mozilla from ( 75 v ) to a new , the guard of Malwarebytes appeared ( disabled ) and just I agreed to the update to be ( 99 ) the guard has worked
