I don't want Firefox to update.

I installed FF 28.
During the installation, I disabled the suto-updater.
At first run, I dsiabled it AGAIN in the config.
And still, it auto-updated to 30.
So, I uninstalled and reinstalled 28.
And AGAIN it's updated automatically.
I don't care about ESR.
I don't want to update to the new graphical style.
I don't care if 28 has exploits. EVERY PROGRAM HAS HOLES AND CAN BE EXPLOITED!
So, I'd be grateful if anyone could explain to me why the program updated even after I set it to NOT do it.
Twice.

Please do the following
Go to your "Options" then under "Advance" tab you will find at the top a tab "Update" there you will find all the options.
If you turn it off there and it doesn't want to work then i suggest looking for viruses.

I don't want Firefox silently updating add-ons.

I want Firefox 4 to behave like how 3.6 did with add-on updates, or at least similar to it. More, I want it to notify me when an add-on has an update, so then either I can update it. Or, simply notify me that an add-on is updating.
I noticed a menu in the Add-on manager with a check mark on "Update Add-Ons Automatically". If I have that turned off, will Firefox notify me of add-on updates?

I have the "Ask me what I want to do" thing checked. I still don't get notified of updates for add-ons. I'm pretty sure that option is for Firefox updates...

I turned off firefox update but it is getting turned back on and telling me firefox 5.0 is available. I don't want firefox 5.0 until all my plugins work and I don't want to be bothered. I will followup in a few months.

I am considering switching from MIE to Firefox. But I need to use an outdated version (7.3.1) of QuickTime, and I do not want Firefox to update it. If I installed Firefox, how would I prevent this?

Firefox doesn't update plugins like that. The worst you might see is a "nag" from Firefox after an update, about that plugin being outdated; and you can dismiss that "nag" by just closing it.

I don't want Firefox to launch every time my computer starts

Every time I restart my computer Firefox launches. How do I disable this? I don't want Firefox to launch ever time my computer reboots. Firefox is not my default browser. Safari is.

See:
*http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#tutorial=startup - Open Applications Automatically on Startup
* Control-click on its Dock icon and uncheck 'Open at Login'
Or:
* Click Accounts (in the System row of the System Preferences window)
** Click the Login Items tab
** Click on Firefox in the list
** Click the Minus (-) button

I don't want firefox to remember my log in on Facebook. How do I change that?

I don't want firefox to remember my log in on Facebook. But I accidently hit remember. How do I change that?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

A. Delete the Password:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Remembering+passwords#Viewing_and_deleting_passwords
B. Add Password Exception:
1. Go to Facebook and log in. When Firefox asks you if you want to save this password, select '''Never for this Site''' . See the attached screenshot.

I don't want Firefox to "remember" the folders I've saved in from websites before. How do I return Firefox to its old image saving habits?

I recently got a new computer and upgraded to Firefox 8. Now, when I save an image from a website, Firefox will "remember" and, the next time I save an image, open a random folder that I saved an image in last time I was on that site, and choose to save it there. This wouldn't be a problem if, 1) it wasn't a random folder out of the several I save into, and 2), if I have to cancel out of an image for any reason, the next time I go to save (seconds later, without refreshing/leaving a page), it will have chosen another random folder for me to save in and I'm misplacing my files.
I'd like to return Firefox to the previous image saving habits, where I have to choose the folder each time, and it doesn't "remember" anything that I've done, as it is only causing headaches.

I have been frustrated by the same aggravating Firefox 8 "improvement".
I have several hard drives, several partitions on each hard drive, hundreds of folders on in each partition, and hundreds of subfolders below them. When I am researching something, I download whole Web pages, PDFs, JPEGs, FLVs, and many other files from all over the Web. It is totally frustrating to be taken to different drives all over my computer each time I want to download a new file to the same folder I jut downloaded to. I have to drill up and down drives and folders to get back to where I was.
In previous versions of Firefox, Save As opened in the last folder I saved to, and all I had to do was create a file name and hit Save. In Firefox 8 I am taken to some totally unrelated subfolder on some totally unrelated drive. The folder in which I last downloaded a file from Wikipedia, Fox News, BBC , Flicker, or any other URL usually has absolutely nothing to do with what I am presently researching.
Why would anyone want to make the default download be the desktop? Total clutter and confusion. All I want Firefox to do when I hit the Save As button is to open the same folder I last downloaded '''''anything''''' to irregardless of the URL.
Is there some way via modifying the about:config file that I can change this behavior of Firefox 8?

I don't want Firefox to be my main browser or automatically open when I click on a link from my emails, how do I disable this?

When I click on a link from my emails it opens automatically through firefox. I want to disable this feature as I would like to go back to Chrome. I don't want to uninstall Firefox all together but I don't want it to be my main browser either.
Thank you

The only way to have such links not open Firefox is to set another browser the default browser.
That MozillaZine Knowledge Base article shows how to set another browser like IE as the default browser.

I don't want firefox to reopen old windows when it restarts

On the rare occasions when Firefox crashes and I restart it I often end up getting the same problem that led to the initial crash because Firefox tries to restore all the windows from the previous session. I looked in the preferences but couldn't find a way to change this behavior. I don't want it to try and re-open old windows when it restarts, just go to my home page and let me reopen windows manually. Can I set that somehow?

I am not a computer programmer and don't remember whatever I may have learned in DOS classes... When I open Firefox it goes DIRECTLY to a page that crashes my computer: originally I had to TURN OFF my computer to get out of it. NOW Mozilla Firefox goes directy to that page again, does not ask if I WANT to restore that session.
I am thinking I will just DELETE all of Firefox from the Program menu
and then reload if I get around to it

I Don't Want the New Update

Hi, I love Skype and I've been using it to talk to my friends while we play Minecraft every day. Just this morning I went on Skype and I got a message (see screenshot). I don't want the new Skype and I was plenty happy with the old one, but there doesn't seem like a way to keep using the one I'm used to. Please help!

I don't want Firefox 7 installed. How do I turn the updater off?

I am a student at Highline Community College here in Washington. The online tool that I interface with for classes from the college is called Angel. Email on Angel does not work with Firefox 7. The IT department is working on a fix currently, but until they get that done I need to know how to turn off the automatic updater that wants to install version 7. I'll switch to the newer version when the fix is completed.

I would like to go back to my original v3 that had NO issues!
PDF's worked, eMail worked, everything worked!
But since the glorious Win Vista then Win 7 things have changed for the worse. Even Apple now has Intel Inside...
I finally found the automatic update switch and turned it OFF!
Damn menus have changed in the 'NEW' FireFox; some better others worse. But as with the 'NEW' Micro$oft products changing the menu so you can no longer use the APP seems to be the 'NEW'!

Firefox not let me log on to the providor before it starts an update. Which it can't do because I have not logged on; and so I can never do the update and never log on. I don't want it to update now! Where is the wait button?

'''bold text'''I have not been doing the updates because Firefox says it will be imcompatable with itunes and my virus checker.
Today it tried to force the update. Not nice.
It failed on boot up, uhh you need to be on the internet, maybe.
I got to the logon screen of Starbucks but it would never let me click I agree and connect. My harddrive light was flashing mores code at 1000 WPM.

Family sharing if you don't want to constantly update your devices and make your apple products redundant

Hi everyone,
My kids have taken over our older Apple devices - i.e. iPhone and iPad - and have currently got our old stuff, apps, emails etc on their devices. I want to start these devices on a fresh start - although they've got a selected few apps that they say would be a disaster to start up again if we deleted everything.
If I go for family sharing, I believe everything has to be IOS 8 or better (probably IOS 9 tomorrow and IOS 10 the day after tomorrow - argh...). But if I upgrade the older devices (if they can upgrade at all!), they will be awfully slow or not work at all...
Apple shop recently suggested me an alternative: to buy vouchers for my kids and set-up a new apple-ID for them on each device as an alternative, although I don't have control over their purchases, but once the voucher has been used, there won't be any more purchases - only free stuff downloaded. So I don't need the kind of control that family sharing has.
All I want them to have is face-time and an own apple-ID on their devices - and let i.e. my sons FIFA15 app continue as he's been building his team for months on "my" old iPad before he took it over himself.
However, now I cannot set up a new apple-ID because there's no more me.com and I can't create an apple ID for them as they are too young...argh (again!) - (did I mention that argh is my favourite apple-expression the latest few years? Bring back the old times please....!).
What to do?
Yes, I know - go to the apple shop and give them more of my cash to get brand new devices that needs updating and replacement in a year and throw away the old devices and pollute the world further. I would get family sharing going yes, but I would also be a lot poorer and feel like a fool for buying more apple gear.
Any other alternative - using what we've already got?
Stop apple from constantly updating and requiring upgrades of products and inventing new stuff....? It drives me nuts - but probably I wouldn't get away with that suggestion either...
Sorry for my alt-modisch view on all this or if any of my sarcastic apple comments are putting any of you off. Appreciate any feedback or ideas from you guys.

No replies to this one?
Come on guys - whoever still likes apple products - come to their defence and show that Apple isn't totally rubbish after all????
Sarcasm aside, much appreciated if you have any tips for me...

I don't want Firefox to update.
