How do I turn off Firefox checking for updates (I am fed up with Firefox continually asking to update when I don't want to due to previous bad experiences)
I would like to turn off firefox checking for updates I don't want to update due to previous bad experiences with updates (version 4 and version 5) I am frustrated by being reminded on a daily basis to update when I don't want to

Use
- Firefox button -> Options -> |Advanced | -> |Update| and uncheck the update option, or opt to ask first.
- see Advanced panel - Accessibility, browsing, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Firefox_update-tab
- and to downgrade
- installing a previous version of Firefox
- and the download itself http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Also note that currently
- firefox 3.6 is still supported, and has had recent security updates
- plans are to continue supporting it despite any comment on the download page
- (not sure how long for but see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Planning/2011-09-07#Questions.2C_Comments.2C_FYI ) confirming continuing support for Firefox 3.6
- Firefox 3.6 has updated with security fixes, so is I think now 3.6.22 ; but it is NOT currently trying to upgrade its users to the current firefox release (Firefox 6)
