Disable all updates of Mozilla?

I have an older version of Mozilla Firefox that I am quite satisfied. Their new version made me nothing else problems until I removed and reinstalled v25.0.1. Now all I get is constant dams, upgrade to the latest version. I want to know how to disable this update thing so that I can't see it. How can I disable updates from Mozilla?

Open the Options, go to the advanced Panel and updates tab and select never search for updates (not recommended: security risk).

Please note that Firefox 25.0.1 has security flaws and so it is safer to use.

    Type of topic: preferences #advanced< enter > in the address bar.

    Under Advanced, select General.
    Find and stop using hardware acceleration.

    Search web sites secure. Are there problems?

    Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that turns off temporarily
    hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables

    that tells us something. If it is not the case, this tells us something else.

  • Cannot add or organize the bookmarks after update of Mozilla

    Did an update of Mozilla yesterday. Subsequently all the bookmarks and the superior browser tool bar had disappeared. With the community help I Got those backward with the exception of at least one category/title of the bookmark. Research on this title he has not revealed, but the search for bookmarks which were under this title aired on search results. However it was not clear how to create the title again and put the bookmarks under this title. The function to organize the bookmarks is missing. Also the feature to create new bookmarks disappeared.

    The menu planning is context sensitive. If you click on the bookmarks Menu in the left pane, or double-click it in the right pane, then Firefox should list current folders and bookmarks in the menu - and organize most of the items shaded in the menu should come back to life.

  • Firefox keeps crashing outside the safe mode (reset, uninstall-reinstall and disable all add-ons do not help)

    I've actually had this problem for over a year now with previous versions. The browser always crashes just after that I start it, but it seems to work fine in safe mode. I tried to reset the Firefox, disable all add-ons mode security and reinstall the application, but none of these methods does not seem to work. Here's the accident reports I after you have installed the latest version of tonight:

  • Disabling automatic updates...

    I can't seem to permanently disable the automatic updates of the parameters, so I tried everything: config and set these values manually:

    App.Update.auto; false
    App.Update.Enabled; False
    App.Update.mode; 0
    App.Update.Never.12.0.0; true
    extensions.lastAppVersion;

    Yet he still wants me autoupdate lol (but very rarely now).

    If the files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.

    You can also remove active - update.xml, or even updates.xml (this will clear the update history).

    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
    

    The "Application Data" in XP/Win2K folder and the folder "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

  • Firefox 4.0.1 shows almost all of the text in bold. I start to record mode and sound fine, but when I disable all the addon then start in normal mode it broke again.

    So I updated last night, this morning I noticed that a lot of the text on Web sites are in bold.
    For example when doing web yahoo mail unread messages must be "BOLD", while read messages shouldn't be now, they are all "BOLD" anything.
    I started in safe mode, thinking that an addon was broken and at the normal search that seemed to confirm that.
    So I disabled all the addon and manually restarted in normal mode, the problem was back.

    I confirmed all was the addon still handicapped and restarted in safe mode once again, fixed... so I disabled both the plugin and extensions... still broken in normal mode.
    At one point I thought it might be the default aspect so I downloaded one that looks like 3.6 and this one broke... again.

    So that's what I'm wondering, what is not loaded in safe mode which is always loaded when you manually turn off all extensions and plugin?

    This could be a problem with the new features related to the police who are trying to use your graphics card. You can enable those here:

    Tools > Options > advanced > [disable] "use hardware acceleration when available.

    (It's one of the things that turn off safe mode.)

    I don't know if you'll see results immediately, or if you must restart Firefox.

    can someone tell me please how to fix this problem without losing all my work together from my laptop

    Hello

    Either the hard disk must be at fault or OS for corrupt or maybe it's just a few updates of Windows at the origin of the problem.

    You can do a system restore to a well known state previously.
    See the section "restoring your computer when Windows cannot start normally" here - http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03327545

    But first do a complete hard drive - fast and wide test first from the BIOS:
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03467259

    You have the support of recovery with you?

    If the HARD drive has FAILED, you must replace it.

    If the HARD drive had failed, I suggest that you change the automatic update of Windows from the control panel to "Automatically check for updates but let you choose to download and install them or Not" next time after you do a restore. Be sure to restore to a point at least 48 hours before the problem started.
    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/5794-Windows-Update-automatic-updating-turn-off-Windows-8-a.htm...

    Maybe some update is the cause of the problem.

    Next: run a scan of the file system - Option 2 in this tutorial:
    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/3047-sfc-scannow-command-run-Windows-8-a.html

    Restart the system.

    Then, run the commands dism, account required to Option 1 in this tutorial:
    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/26512-DISM-fixing-component-store-corruption-Windows-8-a.html

    Restart the system.

    Now, you manually install the update to Windows I'm matches of 5 instead of as a whole.

    Restart the system after each batch installs.

    Note: Completely disable/uninstall all Antivirus software from your system all the while.

  • Windows can't check for updates, update history lists all updates but updates installed tells me that I have no updates installed.

    Hi, I use Win Vista Ultimate 32-bit sp1.  I have KIS2009, A Squared Anti Malware, MalwareBytes Anti Malware installed.  All showing my system is clean.  I ran MSRT analysis to light, and he pointed out that my system is clean also.

    The problem
    When I connect, I get a balloon in the notification area telling me that "windows cannot check for updates.  Opening of update of Windows and do it to check a windows update updates it just go and research without results.  It justs keep checking, but I get no error.  Lists history of update Windows Defender updates the last today, 06/09/09.  All updates prior to this are Windows Defender until 28/04/09.  At this time I have installed 15 updates, including some Office updates.  Click on installed updates and finally I said that there is no update at all?:

    What I tried
    I disabled my firewall and tried again.  No luck :(

    Tried a point files, but apparently I don't have?  I should have, but there is none there.  Install Win7 RC on a different partition, would this have wiped my restore points? I remember Vista made this for XP, but assumed that this would have been resolved with Win7.

    I tried to install Win Vista sp2 but unfortunately, I installed the Russian language (don't know why I, I was annoyed a day) but the sp2 download in five languages and Russian is not one of them :(

    So I tried to do a search on it.  Came across various inscription mention deletion of registry keys.  Only problem is that I have not mentioned keys.  Some keys were supposed to be in the components of HKLM, sorry can't remember the others.

    Find this site, I tried the FIX tool, reset Windows Update.  He ran not aggressive and he made the restoration, request for permission to UAC thingy, then the progress bar moves to the right and nothing else happens.  Restarted exciting tried and the same thing happens.  Been sitting there for more than two hours and no results.

    I checked services.msc.  I have BITS began, was automatic but have updated the manual according to the instructions contained in the ' automatic updates can be turned off "at the top of the forum.  Update of Windows, The Windows event log and Software Licensing Service are all set to automatic, and running.

    Don't understand any of this.

    Any notice received with gratitude.

    Martin,
    Thanks for your help so far.  I hope you don't mind but today how that spending (hard day @ work) I think I'll leave the installation of repair until tomorrow.  More that likely the disc would have burst in the player, causing a sort of spike power was so my motherboard.  So I think I'll just relax tonight and I hope tomorrow is a day better.  Hope you have a good.

    See you soon

  • Error installing junk mail filter KB972691 - how to disable the update?

    Updated to filter out junk e-mail in Outlook 2007 (KB972691) there are a few days that a major update will not install on m ycomputer. No message other than an unknown error code 80070641 and one remains that I still have a significant update to install. Not a major concern if it wasn't for the fact that he's trying to install the update every time I shut down Windows and continues to see messages that I have an important update I should install.

    The junk e-mail filter is not critical for me, so is it possible to disable this update? Since it is a non optional update, I can't hide it by right-clicking the update in the Windows Update window. I tried to download and install the update manually with the same result.

    I am running Vista business and Office 2007 Standard. I've never had problems with the previous updates.

    Any advice would be apreciated

    Martin

    After completing the clean boot on the computer, restart the computer and then try to install the update.

    All the best!

  • How to disable windows update

    I went into Control Panel and disabled all the possible options in windows update but my computer is always updated and there is no way once to update to say later update instead it says save what you do because we're not going to update your computer. It is VERY annoying because I use my computer at all hours of the day and won't tell me when to upgrade my computer by turning off my computer and forcing me to update windows. is it possible to disable this option, because if there is not a way to disable the update of windows I have to switch to an OS that has a bit more freedom, then this OS.

    You go because if you set the update of Windows on manual and you still get the automatic updates - you he did not right (or you have a properly installed never got repeat update).
