How_to_STOP_an_Update_in_progress?

The question explains itself.
I opened the "about Firefox" page and clicked on the "CHECK" for updates link and the program started downloading the new version without my permission. I only wantyed to CHECK the availability of a new version NOT AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE.
I then discovered that there is no way to stop the blasted program. even closing the browser and ending the internet connection won't stop it. As soon as I reinstall the connection and the browser it resumes downloading automatically WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!
Is there no way to stop this blind installation?
Why does the word "CHECK" now mean "Update Automatically"?

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can also delete the active-update.xml file.
