How do you stop a new version of Firefox from updating once it has been downloaded?

I don't want to upgrade one of my PCs to 57.0 as List Note no longer works and I cannot access my notes from 57.

I booted up another computer with a previous version but the update to 57.0 immediately downloaded and now will automatically install when next I boot. How can I stop this from happening and stay on the version that works with List Note?

TIA,

Gord

This has provided a 95% fix as at least I can access all my notes again. But the two machines were synced a few weeks ago. Is there anyway to get my newer notes from the now 57.0 computer to the one that has been reverted to 52.5? Will syncing the two machine work via Firefox and move the most recent List Note db from the 57.0 computer to the one running 52.5?

I hesitate to ask whether List Note will be made to work with 57 and forward. I notice there are a couple of requests on the developer's site. :(

TIA
