Why am I always forced to upgrade Firefox when I don't want to?

I asked this question once b4, & never got a response. Probably because Firefox sucks royally, & they're afraid to answer my question. I'm always forced to upgrade Firefox when I don't want to. I get this stupid little pop-up for 1-4 days saying the new version is available. I ignore it, & without warning upon starting up my computer, Firefox upgrades itself. First of all, I F'ING H8 THAT! Second of all, I WANT TO MAKE THE BLOODY CHOICE WHETHER OR NOT I WANT ANOTHER SUBSTANDARD FIREFOX UPGRADE!! The ONLY reason I stay w/Firefox is that IE sucks even more, & you can't play any Facebook games w/IE. Firefox dev's, I realize I'm just an insignificant user & you don't really care about any of us, but really, must you force us to upgrade? Hmmm, I may just move on over to Chrome.

You can turn off automatic updates, for details see the "Configuring update options" section of this article - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Updating+Firefox
Turning off automatic updates in Chrome is not as easy, it involved editing the registry.

  • Why is it auto-adjusting the record volume when I don't want it to?

    I start playing and I want the levels to almost clip. It adjusts to a lower record volume. Why? I have the compression and noise gate off.

    That's odd. You're using the internal mic and you have the Automatic Level unchecked? If you turn the slider up high enough it should clip like crazy. I don't know why it would back the level down.
    Maybe try the "oddball" fixes:

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • I pre order Iphone 6 this morning. Why was I charged a $30 upgrade fee when I havent been in a contract for almost 2 years? Also will they divide the price of the device over several bills like they have for me in the past?

    I pre order Iphone 6 this morning. Why was I charged a $30 upgrade fee when I havent been in a contract for almost 2 years? Also will they divide the price of the device over several bills like they have for me in the past?

        Hi there nursegrl02! We can help here with your questions regarding the upgrade fee and device charge. The upgrade fee is a one time fee that is applied when upgrading with a 2-year contract. If you pre-order with a two-year contract, you would need to add a credit card to your order as you will be charged for the device once it ships out. If you happen to purchase the iPhone with Verizon Edge, there is no upgrade fee. You will also be billed for the device in installments. You may have to pay a down payment with Edge.  Go to vzw.com/edge for more information.
    Did you upgrade with Verizon Edge or our Device payment plan in the past? If so, that is most likely why you were not charged an upgrade fee.
    Let us know if you have further questions.
    Thank you,

  • I want to deploy an application using firefox but I don't want it set as default browser. I am using mozilla.cfg to lockdown firefox.

    I am deploying an application using firefox. I am using the mozilla.cfg file to lockdown firefox and I don't want firefox to be the default browser.

    Try the option to "Force Firefox to make itself the default" as shown in this article - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser
    Another possibility is your email application may be hard-coded to use IE.

  • 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 [[Options window - Advanced panel#w_update-tab]]_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)

  • Why is there an arrangement button in Displays when I don't have an external display attached??

    Why is there an arrangement button in Displays when I don't have an external display attached to my MacBook Pro?

    I can't even get my pictures from iPhoto to my external hard drive I just bought.
    Quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library to the external drive as an intact single entity - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and point iPhoto to the new location - test the library fully and then delete the library from the internal drive
    I'm about ready to just get a disposable camera and call it good.
    No problem if that makes you happy
    My hard drive is so full I keep getting messages that it's almost full and won't work right if I don't delete something.
    That is correct - you must have 10% or a minimum of 10GB of free space for efficient and safe operation
    I'm TRYING but nothing is working. It's very frustrating, isn't it?
    Maybe if you would give some details on what you are "trying" and what is "not working" someone could help - above is a specific answer to the specific question on how to move the iPhoto library
    Not to mention, the CD drive has a disc in it that won't come out. I'm not anywhere near an Apple dealer, and my MacBook is under warranty, so I can't go anywhere but Apple.
    I would post that in the MacBook forum rather than the iPhoto forum

  • Bug? iTunes forced me to encrypt backup - I don't want this. How can I stop it?

    It's all in the title really...
    When I just did the latest sync of my wife's phone, iTunes insisted that the backup needs to be encrypted. I looked down, the option is unchecked. It has never been checked. I unplugged the phone. I shutdown itunes and rebooted. But when I plugged her phone in again, it again has said I MUST encrypt this backup. Why have I never needed to do this before? Why has apple decided I must do this now?
    So reluctantly I put a password on it, thinking that once it's on, I can uncheck it later.... nope...
    So I enter a password, which I REALLY don't want to do.
    I sync, backup complete... The encryption option is now dulled, I can't uncheck it...
    Changing the password does nothing to remove it because you can't leave the new password blank.
    I have not forgot my password, I just don't want one.
    and please, no suggestions or comments that I should encrypt them all, it's up to me. I just don't want it for either of our phones!
    edit: and now it's done it to my phone too... This is BS...
    I have included a couple of images to show my point, this is for my phone, I have yet to create a password for it, so you can see the checkbox is still off..
    and then when I cancel...
    Why does this phone now REQUIRE the backup to be encrypted?
    I hope someone has a solution here, because I've already researched people losing data because of forgetting passwords and the like... I just don't want this stuff stuffed up in any way, I need to keep this as simple as possible for my wife!

    Ok, I'm back home now, and I've uninstalled the profile that was required by the M1 carrier in Singapore (free plug). Doing this has allowed me to make an unencrypted backup of my phone! YAY!!!
    It has also allowed me the option of UNCHECKING the encryption option on my wife's phone...
    As you can see, I can uncheck it, and it gives me an option to enter the password to UNLOCK the encryption.
    This has now been done and encryption removed!!!
    Message was edited by: iMadivad - in trying to unlock the backup, I initially used the wrong password. I had actually put the innitial password in incorrectly. It took quite a few goes at getting it right, I had mistyped a double character sequence. I had at least 10 goes at getting this right, it appears there's no limit to the number of times you can try and get the password right - I suppose, this is why there are brute force attacks on unlocking this file out there.

  • Why does Mail keep creating a Junk folder that I don't want

    I don't want Mail to filter for Junk because it always gets it wrong. I have another, better filter. I have unchecked the box. Nevertheless, Mail persists in creating a Junk folder and occasionally putting messages into it. Many of these messages are perfectly good and go unnoticed for a few days before I notice them in the new Junk folder. I keep deleting the folder, but eventually it comes back again.
    Why is it doing this, and how can I stop it??

    Thanks for your interest, but unchecking 'Enable junk mail filtering' hides the junk folder, and it will not be regenerated unless Apple Mail unilaterally decides it wants to put something in it. This problem only started for me last year, and for years before that, I did not have a Junk folder. My own spam filter (Spamsieve) works perfectly well.
    As I have unchecked 'Enable junk mail filtering', the two options you mention do not exist: they are greyed out.

    You should update to Firefox 30, 28 is no longer supported nor secure.
    Is there a reason you don't want to update?

  • How do I get my Favorites from Internet Explorer put on Firefox when I don't even know what file my original Favorites came in when I used Internet Explorer?

    I understand that if I go to "File" and then to "Import" I should be able to somehow get all my previous files that where with the Internet Explorer browser relocated to the Mazilla browser...but I don't know how to do that. Give me detailed help please.

    It did merge them after a fashion, glad I took a backup first even if I did only perhaps create 3 or 4 bookmarks today. So if I have bookmark separators, it's going to figure out which group to put them in (no way). Anyway I thought they would just go down to the bottom of the bookmarks menu like the other method, like when I export and import bookmarks in Firefox where they do go to the end of the Bookmarks Menu folder and would simply delete one folder.
    Anyway this would not be typical because I don't want any bookmarks from IE.
