Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular browsers. It has many useful properties, including auto-update, which not everyone needs.
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox is a fairly simple and well-established browser. Unfortunately, today the developers of this browser "delight" their users with the increasing intrusiveness and irreversibility of various innovations that are installed automatically through browser auto-update. It is possible that in future versions, users will be deprived of the ability to create and manage their own browser toolbar, and as a result, it may even turn into an analogue of the Google Chrome browser. If you want Mozilla Firefox to please you the same way as before, and at the same time did not install any of its updates without your knowledge, then you should disable automatic browser updates.
Disable automatic updates for Mozilla Firefox
Updates for the Mozilla Firefox browser are released quite often and sometimes notifications about the appearance of fresh, improved versions can simply be annoying or even interfere with the convenient work with the browser. In order to disable automatic browser refresh, you should go to its settings. To do this, you need to open the browser itself and select the "Tools" tab. In the context menu that appears, you need to click on the "Settings" button and enter the "Updates". In the window, you should find the item "Never check for updates" and put a tick in front of it. The action must be confirmed with the "Ok" button and restart the browser, after which the automatic update will immediately turn off. It is worth noting that in modern versions, the user can choose which updates the browser will look for automatically. Updates for: Firefox Browser, Add-ons, and Search Plugins. If you don't need any updates, just uncheck all of these items.
As a result of these actions, Mozilla Firefox will not check for updates, therefore, various notifications about new versions and so on will not appear. Of course, the user will still be able to install them, only for this it will sometimes be necessary to go to the "Updates" in the browser and independently decide on the installation of this or that innovation. If you like a more recent version of Mozilla Firefox, you can view and install it through the Help. To do this, select the appropriate tab in the menu at the top and click on the "About Firefox" button, and then "Check for Updates". After clicking, a list of possible updates will appear, where you can easily manually install exactly what you need.
