how do you disable jre version check in ubuntu?
I am looking for a way to disable the automatic jre version check in ubuntu. Running Firefox 19 and ubuntu 10 on ThinPro thin clients. Currently using an SSL VPN connection which requires JRE to be installed. The problem is that everytime a new version of JRE is released when network connect is started as part of the vpn connection the JRE version check will crash the browser window and the option box to tell Firefox to do JRE later is not left on the screen. It is not a quick user download and install on Ubuntu so our users are not allowed to click on an install option anyway. What I am looking for is a way to disable the version checker until we have tested the new version and have an image made that we can deploy to users thin clients so they do not run into this issue. I've been searching for a switch or something I can add to a config file or somewhere to disable the automatic JRE version check.

It would be a little difficult to help you.....since most here are Windows users :\
I use Windows as well as OS X and Linux. There are lots of multiple OS users out there as the world does not exist on Windows alone which is why it never hurts to post questions in different places, but thanks for your "help".
