Go to Options window > Advanced panel > Update tab > Firefox updates > click Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk), click OK to save it, exit firefox and restart it.
see for more info: Options window - Advanced panel - Update tab
BUT you see the warning : Warning: If you select this option, you will not receive critical security updates that may keep you safe online unless you frequently do a manual check for updates.
thank you
