I keep getting a Firefox update, but it wants me to deactivate antivirus (says it's not compatible). How can I stop this from popping up 2-3 times a day?

That is probably only about a toolbar or extension that your AV software want to add to Firefox and not about disabling your AV software completely.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
