Prevention of the automatic update

I just opened Firefox and read: "Congratulations!" "You just updated Download Helper.
I don't want to just "update" ANYTHING.
How can I cancel that and prevent it from happening again?

Hello
Go to tools > Modules > Extensions and click on "Download Helper" you should see a link that reads 'More' - and you should now see a page with three 3 radio buttons 'default', 'on' and 'off '...
Who should take care of this problem (I hope)

    change how to get updates to allow you to choose what you and when you install to stop it happening again

    Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

    Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

    I use version 34 and I don't want to update becase the plugins work correctly with the newer versions. I disabled the automatic updates check in preferences, but updates of firefox sometimes! It makes me very angry, I'm tired to restore my backups. What should I do to prevent the automatic update forever! I'll be able to update the program if I need!

  • Stop the automatic updates.

    I won't use Firefox 29 or newer to the interface introduced v29 shit it's user friendly and bring some missing thing the v28 (they may be survivals of an older profile), no. Restorer Classic theme does not bring them back.
    The above is here simply to try to stop suggestions on the use of v29

    I tried to go into the menu options Firefox > Options > advanced > never search for updates, but this does not prevent updates.
    I had to uninstall Firefox 29 5 times today, each time after he said to "never check updates."

    Not to start a war here, but Mozilla won't return to the entire user interface that they spent 2 years working on. That would be a downgrade to them. Mozilla is all pushing forward. Some users may the hate, but it's that there are other alternatives such as the Restorer of classic theme for people who dislike the design Australis.

    There is a way to disable updates by going through the menu Options, but after this, when you go to help > on Firefox, it would update regardless of this setting.
    2 methods here, pick a.
    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

    Or you can use this method to do it for you:
    You can create a new file in a text editor (default values are: Notepad of Windows, TextEdit for Mac and Linux text editor) called user.js . When you save user.js, is ensure that it's file type is all FILES like leaving as it's going to add the extension .txt (user.js.txt) and it will not work. Place this file in your profile folder. See link below to find out how to access the file

    After you create the folder, simply add the following to your user.js file, save and close, restart Firefox

    // turn off application updates:
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    
  • Microsoft Management Console error: this function is not supported on this system. Also noticed that the automatic updates did not install it and returned error 80070005.

    Original title: Microsoft Management Console this feature only is not supported on this system

    I am running Vista 32 bit Business since an administrator account.

    Recently, I noticed that the automatic updates did not install it and returned error 80070005.   After investigation, I found that I could not open mmc at all and always get the message "this function no is not supported on this system.  No major changes have been made to the configuration to trigger it and I can't watch the event log because it is in the MMC.
    I have studied this question in line and tool the following actions, which none worked:
    carried out a complete antivirus scan (I use Commodo internet security)
    created another account administrator
    has run SFC (no problem)
    has run the registry cleaner (no problem)
    has run msconfig.exe and disabled all the startup process
    updated windows right click and run as administrator
    Started in safe mode and tried all above
    After that, I don't know where to go... it doesn't seem to be a download for Windows vista to reinstall mmc.
    I have about 50 updates critical, sitting in my windows update that can not install because of this problem.  Can anyone help?

    Hello Helpmehelpme,

    First, I would check since it is professional Vista was that computer on a field of work or it was already on an area of work? There may be group policies that are in place that prevent to run MMC.

    When did start to happening? Is there anything new on the system which has been introduced into the environment (software, hardware)?

    This thread gives a few steps trying to the original poster that you can't have.

  • How to disable the automatic updates?

    Hi all

    I would like to disable the automatic updates and be able to manually check for updates without it becomes a task complicated.

    The only answer I could find so far is the following: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/disable-auto-updates-application-manager.html

    Is this the only solution? Because, in reading the notes, also seem to which would prevent me from easily control updates. Have I misunderstood?

    I absolutely need to do because when I'm at work, in my office, I have absolutely no problem connecting.

    But coming to the House, in a very rural village with a... Let's say "connecting powered-pigeons", automatic updates can become a serious problem for me.

    Thank you in advance!

    Acrobat has its own settings to update.  Open your preferences and disable the auto update.  I'm no expert, but Acrobat seems to be a strange duck in the world of CC.  Although it is part of the CC, it still seems to work more as a stand-alone product.

  • TB 31.5.0 Win 7 after the TAB key for the automatic update no longer creates new address line "write" (enter the done key) but I want the TAB key! Why this keep happening after

    TB 31.5.0 Win 7 after the TAB key for the automatic update no longer creates new address line "write" (enter the done key) but I want the TAB key! Why is - this seems to happen after each automatic update? Cant we get 'option' to use the TAB key to navigate through the lines of address "write"?

    TAB through the fields that exist. It is the function of the TAB.

    Otherwise you could never use TAB to go out in a field for example: subject. It would create an indefinate number of fields and are unable to function as a TAB key.

    TAB does not back to THE fields,
    New crests to THE fields or donkey typing/selection enter/return address, you can use the selection of mouse click.

  • The automatic update on Firefox poses a security problem as they say some sites

    I just noticed that some sites say that the automatic update of Firefox is a security risk and I was wondering if it was true

    No, it isn't. people work to update firefox to make it better and safer. and most recent version allows to block the pulgin in any page and indicates same elem in a secure page. It therefore becomes safer. Security risk may be running plugins such as java, shockwave etc so only run on trusted sites.

  • Unable to turn off the automatic update of java

    Whenever I have untick the box to disable the auto update it asks me my password, and then closes. I open the java Control Panel and the automatic update box is checked again. I tried several times but it remains always on.

    No idea how to remove the automatic update?

    Java is still necessary?

    Thank you

    According to what you do with the computer, Java may not be necessary. I did not install more and did not have an opportunity where I needed.

    Hi William,.

    First try the following article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.

    If this does not work, try this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100.

    While I'm not quite certain that the first will succeed, the second is a common and often recommended solution that has helped a lot with this error code.

    I hope this helps.

  • I can't change the automatic update settings

    I noticed recently that the automatic update of windows is no longer asked me whether to download updates. When I checked the settings via the Control Panel setting had been changed to "Install updates automatically". The toolbar is now grayed out and I am unable to choose another option!

    I'm the only person using this computer as administrator, with a single user profile. I don't understand why I'm not allowed to change these settings more and you would appreciate the help.

    Thank you

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation and formatting the hard drive option" (or "reinstall it Windows 7") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7 article

    NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

    After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

    4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
         http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx

    VERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the Norton Removal Tool again BEFORE installing updates AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials - free, instead of AVG).

    If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/threads

    [If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair shop.]

    Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!
