How can I turn off auto update?

I had FF never check the value. On its own, this parameter was changed to "Check for updates but let me choose". However, the parameter is actually, "install automatically". How can I fix it? I can decide on updates all by myself.

The change was 28 V to V 29.

There was a previous way by going into the Options menu to turn off updates, but after this, when you go to help > on Firefox, it would update regardless of this setting.

You can set these prefs in about:config to turn off the automatic update:

App.Update.auto - false

App.Update.Enabled - false

App.Update.Silent - false

  • How can I turn off the update feature?

    I have a HP Pavilion laptop. All of a sudden, with no warning, the computer stops to install updates. I am told not to close my computer while updates are being configured. I've lost so much already (my other computers, desktops and at work, have auto-saving, so I'm not used to save constantly) and I tired. How do I disable this feature or at least get to give me a warning so I can record updates. Thank you!

    If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

    You can change the setting "notify only". Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded updates are installed commandeLorsque, which they are installed.

    I prefer "Notify only" setting.

    When they are installed.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how can I turn off Auto-Text for SMS, MMS, emails, and Instnt Msgng?

    Hello world

    Anyone know how I can disable will on e-mails, sms, mms & Instant Messaging online programs? Usually, I type in shorthand (words without vowels, acronyms, etc.) for faster messages... especially with the touchscreen technology / click safe poor of this phone.

    However, whenever I'm trying to stenography, the Auto-text suggestion & there is no other choice but to select some Word returns. Its really get irritating. :~/

    -laureus

    You have three things going on on the 9500 in portrait mode... Automatic insertion of predictive text and SureType.

    For AutoText, you just delete all entries. I don't know how to enable and disable.

    Predictive text - go to Options > language > input Options > predictive and uncheck. Similarly, there you can disable spell variants.

  • Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

    Hi, I'm opperating on Windows Vista Basic Home Edition on top of a HP540 Tower, which has 160 GB hard drive.

    Except for the 20 GB Partition, I stayed with 129 GB to install a fresh on o/s.

    After installing my o/s and updates the 7Gig to clean Documents saved from after installation.

    I was left with 99 Go!

    Something wrong without a doubt!

    Even more, I'm losing memory on my hard drive like there is no tomorrow, 30 GB in 4 days!

    It seems every time I'm streaming videos, or even just to watch videos, an external hard drive.

    I lose about 1 or 2 GB!

    Using a number of antivirus programs, I scanned for a virus, but all programs concluded that the

    the system is clean and that there is no virus!

    This led me to believe that the system backup and restore several coppies of his car, then

    I have used the disk clean up to remove all but the most recent backup file.

    All of a sudden my disk space is increased from 69BG to 99 GB.

    I still don't know what happened to the other Go 20 or 21.

    Although this seems to be a difficulty, with in a few minutes that the backup has been busy writing far still and in

    15 minutes that I had fallen to 97.3 GB and deminuishing.

    Why my OS took so much space and how can I turn off automatic Back-ups?

    Thank you very much!

    Nothing wrong as far as I can see.  A Windows installation will take about 20 GB to 30 GB so it's fine, and you will lose even more space for virtual memory to system management file, hibernation, system restore points file and so on.  Although the "30 GB in four days" is perhaps a little on the high side, considering that you have just installed Windows, there are a lot of household, creating files and so forth go on these days.

    With the help of disk cleanup to delete these files from system restore is a bad choice, because they are created to ensure the security of your system and allow you to recover from any problems that may require them.

    If disk space is as big a problem to get a bigger hard drive and let the system restore to do its job.
