    Question FF update has to go

    How can I keep Firefox from installing the latest update? Whenever it gets installed the browser acts strangely. And how can it be uninstalled?

    Tools --> Options. Click Advanced and choose the Update tab. From there you can disable the automatic update check or configure FireFox to ask you what to do if updates are found.

    I don't know of a way to uninstall an update.

    Google "Previous versions of FireFox".

    How is it "acting strangely"? I've never had a problem with Firefox updating itself on any of the machines I use or manage, ever.
    Intel Q6600 @ 334x9 [] Giga-Byte P35-DS3R [] 6GB GSkill DDR2-800 4-4-5 [] Radeon HD 2900 XT 512MB [] Seagate 7200.8 250GB + WD 320GB x3 in RAID 5 [] Pioneer slot-load 16x DVD [] Lite-On 32x12x40x CDRW [] Onboard Sound -> Altec Lansing 641 speakers [] ESI Juli@ -> Practical Devices XM4 -> AudioTechnica A900 headphones [] Mitsubishi 200NF 22" Diamondtron CRT [] Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit
