I'd like to have the ability to deny an update, some kind of dialogue box. It just went to 9.0.1 with no approval whatsoever.

The reason why is that FF main appeal is the range of extensions, having over half of them non-functional because developers can't keep up with frequent Firefox updates is frustrating beyond compare.

Hi PJ99,

You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article Install an older version of Firefox. This will show you how to roll back to an older version.

If you want to turn off automatic updates, just take a look at this article. That will prevent Firefox from updating automatically.

Hopefully this helps!

Chances are any of the Extensions you have that are hosted at addons.mozilla.org have been updated for Firefox 9.
