How can I get security updates without dealing with Firefox 4 update reminders?

I tried Firefox 4 for awhile, hated it and reloaded 3.6. I keep getting reminders to update to 4 which are bothersome. I have disabled reminders, but how can I continue to get security updates without upgrading to 4?

Install Secunia's free Personal Software Inspector: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal


You also need to update Flash a.s.a.p. The version you're running right now is a security risk. See http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html

Update via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/


Also, update Firefox to 3.6.17 because there was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
