HOW DARE YOU......
....install version 33.whatever without my permission! I logged on to my computer to find that all my toolbar icons were different, some even missing. When I checked Program Files, sure enough, there it was, version 33.0.0.???? I did not ask for this version to be installed because I DO NOT WANT THIS UPGRADE!!!! Yet Mozilla just went ahead with it. This is a dreadful invasion of my privacy. I have used Firefox for a long time because it seemed to be the most honest and forthright of the web browsers available. Now, because of this incident, I am beginning to think Mozilla is no better than Chrome or I.E. in its quest to access my computer for its own means. I am extremely disappointed.

Hi, you have to create the user.js file (does not exist by default), open a text editor such as Notepad and save the empty file as "user.js" anywhere inside your profile folder, then open again the user.js file in your text editor and copy the next code:
// turn off application updates: user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
and paste it inside the file, then save the changes and close the file.
Then close firefox from file > exit, and open it again. (more info is in the above link in my first reply). If you need anything more, please ask.
thanks

Hello katlomas, for your 28.0 use the next code in a user.js file in your profile :
// turn off application updates: user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file
(probably you have it that way in about:config but the important is the user.js file, firefox first read from user.js file)
You already known that Firefox 28 is no longer secure, i already see your previous post for Australis, i don't like it either.
thank you
Hi, ideato
I am not so good with computers that I can change the information you have suggested. I have found the profile folder but have no idea what to do with
// turn off application updates: user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
Thanks.
