I have Firefox set to check for updates but do not install, just notify. WHen I start Yahoo email, F automatically downloads and updates anyway.

I have FF set to check for but do not install updates. When I start yahoo email, FF automatically instals updates. I am only user/administartor. How do I make this stop? It is messing up other programs - destroyed my Norton security.

Usually, the "notify" setting works fine. I don't know whether having Yahoo as the home page makes a difference. ??

Updates are available for your Norton add-ons. Please see this article: Firefox 15 Support for Norton Toolbar - Norton Community.

(Firefox probably can't find those automatically because the updates arrive through Norton LiveUpdate instead of the Mozilla add-ons site.)

I am having the same problem. I am running Win 7 all patches current. Primary email is road runner. I use MS security essentials for security, it is current. I have caught Firefox downloading and updating twice. If I catch it again , it is history!
