Why Firefox made automatic update even if I had specially unchecked "check updates for firefox" option?

I hate when software wastes my time for updates. Usually this happens when you are most hurry.
I always uncheck option for automatic updates.
But Firefox still wasted my time and made unwanted update.
Therefore I know now that Firefox is a malware and removed it from my system.

Sorry, it's been like this for over 6 years now, ever since the update feature was added in Firefox 3.0 - right, wrong, or indifferent. If you want the ultimate "say" as to if and when Firefox is updated by other than a definitive "click" by your hand, you need to say '''''Never check for updates ...''''' and then remember to check for updates yourself every 6 weeks so that you don't fall too far behind on security fixes for Firefox.
One change that was made since this thread was started 3 months ago, is that opening '''''Help > About Firefox''''' no longer checks and then downloads an update, if one is available. There is now a '''Update to ...''' button in the About Firefox dialog window.

    how do i get iOS updates for my ipad?  I never received an automatic update for it.

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • Is Using the Automatic Update for Flash Player Safe? It is Installed In System Preferences On My Mac

    Hello-
    One day I noticed that there was an icon on my MacBook Pro of Adobe Flash on the last row of system Preferences.  I had never seen it before, and I had ben using Flash for a long time and updating it regularly.
    It recently told me there is a newer version.  I did not let it install it because I am having so many problems with viewing Flash Videos on websites.  I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I use Safari 5.1.5, the latest as far as I know.
    In using this automatic updater for Flash (there are actually several tabs when I click the Adobe icon not just the updater) in the Advanced tab of the Flash Player icon are there any special things I should do if I click yes update?  should I close all the windows, apps, Safari?  do a restart?  I am debating if I should do a Clean Install, wipe all Flash Player off the Mac and just install the latest version rather then letting the updater install the latest version, which I think is 11.2.202.228.  I currently have 11.1.102.64 with a bunch of video issues.
    Thanks for any assistance.

  • How to get automatic updates for P750 custom build

    I recently purchased a custom built P750 and want to sign up for automatic updates. There is no option for just a P750 which is my complete model number.
    8GB ram
    I7 2.20GHz
    Windows HP SP1 with all updates installed at this time.
    How can I get automatic updates for this machine and operating system and if so, how do I get signed up for those?
    Should I just choose a model number and pretend it is the model I have? Which number should I choose?
    Jon
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Satellite P750 (PSAY3U-0RF03H)
    All computers in the same part-number family (PSAY3U) are essentially the same. The drivers and utilities for this one should work.
    Satellite P750-BT4G22 (PSAY3U-08703H)
    So go here.
    Hmm. Not many there. So let's go to the equivalent part-number family in Europe (PSAY3E).
    Get those here.
    Lots of ways to wiggle.

  • HT5567 My phone is iPhone4S, why can't I update for it to iOS 6.0.1?

    My phone is iPhone4S, why can't I update for it to iOS 6.0.1?

    There are plenty of apps still compatible with iOS 4.2.1. Not a majority, necessarily, but they're still out there. If the app you want requires a newer version, find another app the accomplishes the same thing.
    Of course, it may be too late for that now, since you chose to hack/jailbreak your iPhone, and it is currently a brick. As varjak paw stated, this forum will not help you with your hacked phone.
