In order to work with CSS from here on out, I'm going to use a plug-in for the Firefox browser called Firebug, and that's what you see in the upper right-hand corner. I'm currently working on Firefox 4.

• Install Firebug Firefox

So if you're working on Firefox 3, then the bug will display in the lower right-hand corner. And if you don't have Firebug installed, you'll need to go ahead and install it if you want to follow along. I'm going to open up a new tab in my browser and I'm going to search for Firebug.

I have tried all options under tools options advanced update and NONE of them disable automatic updates. Whichever one is selected, at some point Firefox will upgrade without getting user approval, which is complete and utter crap. I have to maintain an application which must run on Firefox version 3.6, cannot be ported to any later version, and is only used to access the control application. I'm sick and tired of having to uninstall and reinstall Firefox every time it goes in direct violation of my settings and updates itself automatically. Why even have a setting for this if hte setting is completely ineffectual?

Some applications (like Sandboxie and Kaspersky Internet Security 2013) are not yet full compatible with FF 16.0.1 Within Sandboxie everything is going tremendously slow, download windows donot show up, Youtube sound is not working. Kaspersky add ons are not yet compatible. I want to revert to v.15 keep current configuration, but the only thing is that I donot want FF to automatically update, but give notice about an update only.

Is it correct to understand that after re-installing v.15 I need to: app.update.url delete current contents being: app.update.url.details delete current contents being THANKS =.

So, even if you choose to not even check for Firefox updates, at some point you will be upgraded. During a browsing session, you will get a popup that states the latest version has been downloaded and will be applied when you restart, and you are given a choice to restart at that time or restart later.

That doesn't sound like the behavior of an option that clearly means FF will not even check for updates. If it is not the developers' choice to deceive the user by the options provided, then this is a bug and I'm surprised it made it past QA.

Ffw62 said - 'Maybe at one time in future there will be kind of upgrade/update postpone/reminder option.' I doubt if that will happen. Mozilla is working on silent updates for Firefox 17 )or 18), where is no notification at all. The update is downloaded and installed while Firefox is running; not even the current 'notice' which suggests the update is needed. Then the next time the user launches Firefox the update appears. Basically the opposite of what you sound like you are looking to happen.

Brichter1 Exactly which pref did you have set for Firefox not to automatically update? Plus, are you sure that pref is still set as you had it? The last 2 or 3 versions have had a pre-selected pref for Firefox to Automatically install updates, and if you didn't de-select that option in the update dialog box before you restarted Firefox to install the update, that pref you had set was probably toggled on.

Thanks for telling me what browser the different departments of the various government institutions we work with are using, and what browsers we need to keep around for our old (14+ years) internal applications because we don't have the capital to hire folks to constantly rewrite those applications. You, sir, are very uninformed and should educate yourself as to how business actually works before posting drivel like this. BTW, we have migrated most of our internal apps to FF9, but still see the issue when FF constantly tries to upgrade to 18.

Thanks the stars that the FF developers understand how the real world works and have posted the workaround to this issue, it's obvious they know quite a bit more than you. We cannot force the government to upgrade, either.

Brichter1 - I'm with you on this, I create E-learning courses for various global companies, most of whom update their infrastructure once in a blue moon as it's such a costly procedure. I don't think Tylerdowner is understanding the issue. 'who should be using Firefox 18.'

That's a little arrogant don't you think? Why force a user to upgrade against their will? For one client we still even need to test on Mozilla 2, so it's pretty clear that Tyler and Mozilla as a whole are quite embarrassingly detached from the real-world end-user.

I think it is a case that Mozilla Firefox mainly has a userbase of individual users that tend to appreciate all the thousands of extensions available. Possibly some of those users have little knowledge of security matters and anticipate the browser will keep them safe with minimal user input & decisions. The introduction of ESR was in my opinion a bit of a U turn, apparently because Mozilla had suddenly realised that corporate/enterprise/education etc sectors were using Firefox; or more importantly were NOT using Firefox because of the problems the Rapid release cycle caused. With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight it is something that maybe should have been looked at earlier on. Unfortunatly even if some large user uses old software, AND connects to the internet security is likely to be a problem. I know that can be mitigated by various means outside of the scope of discussion here. This forum though is generally discussing matters as they affect individual users and not institutions with their own IT departments, and certainly is not trying to tell governments what software to run!!

The fact remains that on balance, for the average user, the best option is to upgrade; however for those wishing to enjoy their right to choice we have posted instructions above in this thread on how to prevent upgrades.

John99 - A balanced view, appreciated. Of course your demographic is going to be predominantly individual users, but people are savvy, and people do not take kindly to being told what is happening to them, as opposed to them making their own informed choice. Chrome has an aggressive updater, but its gets away with it largely because:. the majority of people don't even know its happening, which is dependent on. Scanstudio hd crackling. the fact that there are few major backwards compatibility issues. I say few, I have yet to come across one, but that certainly doesn't mean there aren't any of course. The issue with FF's aggressive updater is that it renders many things obsolete.

In a single morning I may have to install FF4 10 times, and each time I will have to download and install Firebug for that particular version, its incredibly frustrating, which is why I can understand the hostility from brichter1 to tylerdowner, as tylerdowner is clearly oblivious to the need for some developers to maintain previous versions, and the ramifications of doing so. We may not be the chunk of your demographic, but we're developers that rely on your choices, and your choice has been to remove ours. John99 - A balanced view, appreciated.

You really should read ALL the posts in a thread before you jump in, it'll save you some embarrassment more often than not.;-) IF you had read all the posts, you would have learned that even if you tell FF not to update, it will, at some point in the near future after the next version is released, upgrade FF without your consent or knowledge. You won't even know it happened until you open the browser one day and you get the message that FF is installing the update, and when it's done you're presented with a web page telling you your browser has just been updated.:-( Even the FF developers admit this is the case, and it's to protect people that aren't familiar with browsers and why they should or should not be upgraded (looks like you fall into this category, LOL). However, some of us working in the industry have valid reasons not to upgrade at Mozilla's convenience, and for those of us, they have posted the workarounds above.

I finally deleted the lines for mozilla in about:config for the updater so now it has no idea where to go for an update and doesn't even bother trying.

It's still a memory whore, though. Right now one window in safe mode is using 1.4GB of memory. Chrome is using 64mb. And Chrome is in normal mode. IE is using 21mb.

There's just no excuse for FF to use 6600% MORE memory than Internet Explorer. There was a day I checked ad it was using 3.5GB with one window open. This system only has 4GB of memory. I wound up having to end task and using another browser. I secretly think Mozilla is spying on us and that's why it uses so much memory.
