Quantum is slow, disables needed extensions and has spyware - it iverrode my app.update=false setting in about:config
How can I ensure that I will never, under any conditions, be burdened with Quantum or any other defective by design release.
It appears your upgrade tools are not respecting about:config settings that supposedly disable updates.

I've answered this a lot of times already.
Basically, you have to remove the maintenance service, disable in the options, about config as well and I also deleted the updater executable from the Firefox program directory (I've had to do this on both Windows and Linux so I'm being a bit general about some of the description here.)
Some of my other answers are more explicit. There's also http://basilisk-browser.org/

Thanks for your list of ways to solve this problem. Since Mozilla seems to want to force everyone to use some broken, untested and worthless piece of software - we must protect our computers.
It is too bad when something that started out as a solution to the Internet Exploder scourge itself become the enemy of the very users it purports to serve.
