How do I, once and for all, never, ever to return, completely disable Firefox auto-updates?

In the admin account and all user accoutns, I had Firefox > Options > Advanced > NO UPDATES and turned OFF "Use a background service to install updates."
I created a new account on this computer. The VERY FIRST THING I did was go to Firefox > Options > Advanced > NO UPDATES and turned OFF "Use a background service to install updates."
Guess what. It updated. It updated for all accounts.
I've easily lost four work days of time in the first 8 months of 2019 because of FIrefox updates. I need a way to stop updates. ALL updates. FOREVER. ALL UPDATES UNCONDITIONALLY BLOCKED. No leakage. I do not want them with a goat. I do not want them on a boat. I do not want them here or there. I do not want them anywhere. Is there any remaining ambiguity?
The ways described above don't cut it. So let's think unconventionally. Is there a file I can set the protections on, so Firefox's update balks and gives up? Can I create a file that has a name that Firefox update expects, and give that file some content or property so that Firefox update fails?

Where are my existing Questions etc from the "Firefox" account linked to this new system? It promised that they would be linked if I used the same email. Nothing is in my Profile - I want my list of previous Questions !!!
Should have send everyone email warning of this. New account creation page should have option to enter existing UserName & be sent an email, so you know what email was being used. Over the years there have been many. Also different emails for "Get Satisfaction" (Is that defunct?) & for sending questions to Developers and AddOn authors...
I used the address that I found searching old email for announcements sent by Firefox/Mozilla, so it SHOULD be the one I used "here."

Hi, I'm trying to get the en-GB dictionary to silently install (for network deployment) into firefox, I've got the dictionary xpi, it's file name is ID, and it's dropped into the extensions folder. Firefox detects it and after changing the autoenablescope setting, it is automatically enabled within FF. However it is not actually active and working as it should (no spellcheck or underlining). By installing through the normal add-ons page it does work, of course. But not when installed and activated the silent way.
Any help would be appreciated.

I need to find an extension like this (Open private) thats no longer supported. That allows me to set specific urls that open in private mode. Adding shortcuts on the desktop is not the answer and always open in private mode is nalso not the answer. Chrome has incognito-filter that is perfect. whats the option for FF?

Etc. I try with safe modality, disable acceleration hardware. Change in about config the time of the script, turn false dom.ipc.processHangMonitor and dom.ipc.reportProcessHangs but nothing. The problem is only with some pages. Initially the error is Argh! The page crashs. When I restart in safe modality the error is on the top "the browser is slowed down from a page etc.". When I change things in about:config the error is about a script.
Someone can help me please? ThanksI am using 60.6.1esr (32 bit)

I have a Windows 10 Pro X64 Lenovo which is domain joined. The user frequently uses Firefox as their browser. When they do, they can get frequent and repeating Blue Screens. When I look at the memory dump files, I see that the faulting application is Firefox. Can somebody assist me with this file and offer some insight into how I can circumvent further disasters?
I do have the memory.dmp file. Can I share it?

Hi. I've been a loyal user to Mozilla Firefox for many years now. My concern is whenever I updated the browser from the past, It deletes my settings and extensions. That's whats keeping me from updating it for quite sometime now. So Im simply afraid to do it. For example. Part of my research entails an extension that downloads and converts from a video site. After an update this is removed. I have to re-install everytime. I so got tired of this. Its so annoying everytime it asks for updating, I have to opt out. Is there some way I can update this without messing up my settings? Has Mozilla already worked out a version without messing with my settings? Thank you for the help.

Greetings,
I'm setting a staging server on a VM, and issued a self-signed certificate.
When accessing https://staging.my.site firefox is giving me the following error:
" The owner of staging.my.site has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox may only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate. "
Clicking on Advanced shows:
" staging.my.site uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER "
There is no way to add an exception.
I went into Preferences-Certificates-View Certificates / Servers-Add Exception. Typed "https://staging.my.site", clicked on Get Certificate-Confirm Security Exception. But I got the same message
Restarted FF. Same message. Checked in SecurityPreloadState.txt but cannot see mention of "staging.my.site"
Kindly indicate me how to add an exception for my staging site.
Regards

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to change the default title displayed on the "authentication popup" dialog box requesting a user to enter their security credentials. The current title is "Authentication Required" which is generic, I need to create a title unique to the application that is generating this popup.

Search for the addon on mozilla addons.
Locate UBlock Origin and click install. The popup is displayed to 'accept' permissions. Click accept and nothing happens. In the addons 'extensions' tab, the ublock entry row shows, but it never starts to download (and therefore never installs).
Tried to do it by saving the xpi to local and installing from there, but exactly same thing occurs.

I successfully make FF my default browser and it remains such for the current session. Session = one continuous login period. After restarting or shutting down/powering up the PC (Windows 10), the browser is reset to Internet Explorer.
So every session, I have to set FF as my default browser. Microsoft seems to make other makers' applications less accessible by insisting on defaulting to Microsoft products when available.

We are currently having to role back to FireFox ESR 52.9 from the latest Quantum build of FireFox 60.3.0. Due to the fact that this version utilizes WebGl 2. Our older systems will not render one of the educational games we utilize in the our School District any longer due to the fact that Quantum uses WebGl 2 instead WebGl 1. We have tested and verified that ESR 52.9 renders the game properly.
I have been trying to disable the automatic update in utilizing the user.js file and the cfg file. The computers are apart of the domain. From what I have read only new user profiles will get the new user.js settings while all existing profiles will retain the old settings so we plan on reimaging these computers so all existing profiles will be wiped.
I have also seen users block the updates by changing the Host File which we will not do. Some sites state create a profile folder in the defaults folder other show place the user.js file in the pref folder. So I am lost at this point. I have followed this guide as well:
I have placed the 00_admin-prefs.js with the exact settings shown and have the mozilla.cfg file in the same folder as the js. both are in the defaults\pref
When trying to run FireFox I am am not getting:
Failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your Administrator. (I am the Admin). My domain creds give me admin privileges on all computers.
I know this folder also holds the channel-pref.js so I am not sure if I can add what I need to that file.
If someone would please help me determine what is going on. Why wont firefox copy the either a user.js file or utilize the cfg file I created to each new profile that gets created when logging into the computer.

I cannot get this PC to (stay) connect to Sync - Every time I log in, I get an email, but within seconds (sometimes instantly, sometimes after a few minutes) I get the yellow warning triangle with the "reconnect to sync" message.
I have tried the steps in another post:
delete the signedInUser.json file in the Firefox profile folder and delete the Weave folder
But that hasn't worked.
