Are you sure you disabled updates?

Or did you select Ask me what I want to do?

I left "automatic updates" for Firefox UNCHECKED and left download when updates are found UNCHECKED. " Ask me wha I want to do" is CHECKED.

In English, that means don't automatically update and if updates are found ASK.

It does NOT mean ignore all the instructions and download!
