Can not stop auto update latest firefox version

Hello

I googled a lot of answers about stopping the automatic update of firefox. But unable to do it and not be able to use the functionality offered in the context of the browser. I have to do this deliberately to have my selenium framework support the static browser version like every last updated maybe not having a ready selenium supported server.

I did what follows, but not luck.

(1) tools-> Options-> advanced-> update-> Set to "never check...". ». After reboot, the option is set to "automatically install...". ».
(2) in the about: config-> set the following as below:

----- app.update.url = null
----- app.update.url.details = null
----- app.update.url.manual = null
----- app.update.mode = 0
----- app.update.silent = false

But still when I go to-> Firefox; Updates automatically start the download.

Is there a solution to stop the auto-update feature and I would like to download/upgrade to update firefox by me manually. Why build it in function does not work?

Am on company Win7 64-bit Service Pack 1.

"But still when I go to-> Firefox; Updates automatically start the download. "

This isn't the automatic update, causing the update - it triggers a manual update when you open Firefox. At least until this was changed in Firefox 37.0

IMO, when using selenium, you would be better served by using the version of ESR (Extended Support Release) of Firefox. He receives an update of major version of each 8 quick release version updates. You receive security updates without the major version change, and without receiving all of the new features like the release of versions have. ESR is intended 'institutional', but there is no ban on regular users by using ESR.

One of these program/extension is my sure financial sign-in the device. It's always months behind any browser updated. Please allow me to decide when it is best for me to update the browser. Therefore, how can I prevent the automatic updates each does not happen?

  • Can not stop "auto crop" documents, scan on my HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one

    I use a HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one to scan documents.   My OS is Windows 7 64 bit.   I have used this configuration since January 2012 and my problem has just started in the last 30 days.  I did not any changes to the system except for the automatic updates of Windows coming out.

    I unchecked the box "automatically Crop scanned Documents" in the Advanced Document settings, but as soon as I scanned a page, the checkbox appears in the box again (in itself!) and it will automatically crop a bad document.

    No idea why this is happening and what I can do about it?

    Thanks for your help.

    Not really sure what caused it, but looks like the setting has glitched somewhere along the way and will be set when past.  Try unintalling to reinstall a new download.  Let me know what happens.

  • Can not stop notifications

    Hi people,

    I have the problem after update to El Capitan. I keep getting notifications from different sites (including facebook) that I can not stop no matter what I try. Any thoughts on how to stop them? (I even put the guilty site (www.idevice.ro) on/etc/hosts to stop it with no result). I even tried "Do not disturb" in Notifications, also removing any notification in settings > Notifications and nothing works, what is frustrating - I'm honestly sick banners popping up every 10 minutes. Is there something I am doing wrong? Everyone knows about this problem?

    Thank you

    Claudiu

    Open Safari Preferences--> Notifications.  You see all the websites listed?  If you do, click "Decline" for each of them.
