how do i disable firefox updates?
Every time I turn off automatic updates I get a reminder anyway as soon as I restart firefox. the option to disable updates DOES NOT WORK. I also have to type a new question everytime cause there is no way to check what I've already asked and chat support has been down for DAYS. WTF? This is your MAIN product.
how do you have NO/ZERO support options? just go around the net and ask people and hope that someone answers?

- You are an update behind in the 3.6.x version of Firefox. The current version is 3.6.18, you have version 3.6.17
- To update to 3.6.18, download from the following link, SAVE it to your hard drive (SAVE it to your Desktop sot that you can find it), exit Firefox (File > Exit), run the installer you saved to your desktop
- http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html (read the information at the top about continuing support for 3.6.x)
- How to find your Firefox version: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Finding+your+Firefox+version
- To turn off automatic updates (not wise, but here goes):
- click Tools > Options > Advanced > Update tab, un-check "Firefox" and change any other options.
- See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel
