I believe version 6 is still beta and I do not want to install it until it has been fully tested. That is why I don't want or need the update pop up. How can I block pop ups relating to version 6 until I download it.

Thanks and regards

Here is how to do it:

Firefox > Options > Options > Advanced [Tab] > Update [Tab]


Then uncheck 'Firefox'. This will do the trick.

Also if you don't want any notifications about updating of other parts uncheck all of the available things there.

Thanks for getting back so fast, I'll try unchecking updates.

Am I right in thinking version 6 is still in beta?

If it is now a fully tested version I'll update now which will presumably also solve the problem.

Thanks and regards Ian Tocher

FF6 is latest release and not a beta version.
