How I disabled Firefox's auto update

[wizard]

I've seen Firefox's annoying automatic update referenced several time in the forums. Older versions had a checkbox to disable it, but Mozilla, like many other software companies, has decided that they know what's best for their users. I personally find this offensive since my experience has been that updates often either fail to work at all or break other programs or functions.

End of tirade

Here is a way to disable the auto update that works for me:

distribution.zip

unzip the file and put the "distribution" directory into your Firefox directory

If you do want to do an update, just remove or rename the distribution directory.

Thanks a lot.- I was looking for it a long time... I hate someone takes decissions for me, AND I HATE FF DOING THIS.

Have a nice day, my friend.- yw

Hi!

I have this in Firefox settings. Should it work I guess? This is the last version I installed under Tahrpup 64

Bye!
