Firefox 52esr binaries keep updating to 60esr
I downloaded the FF x64 linux binaries for version 52 esr from ftp.mozilla.org because I need an old version for compatibility for a certain website. I created a simple bash script to launch FF with the -no-remote flag inside the directory with the binaries. When I open FF I'll quickly go into the settings to turn off all the update stuff, then if I close it and open it again it'll be on version 60 esr. I got no idea what's going on.

The -no-remote command isn't helpful in this case. It doesn't have anything to do with internet connectivity, so the update gets probably downloaded and installed as soon as you open Firefox and then is just waiting for you to restart Firefox to actually apply the update.
Try using the - -ProfileManager or -P command line option instead and check the Work Offline option. That should stop Firefox from connecting to the internet and then you will be able to adjust settings without Firefox downloading the updates.
Hope this helps.
