I have tried the following solutions:

  1. nano /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js
  2. nano /usr/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/nano syspref.js
  3. nano /usr/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/user.js

commented out this: //pref("app.update.channel", "release"); and entered the following: pref("app.update.enabled", false); pref("app.update.silent", false);

I also created a profile folder in ~/.mozilla and added a text files with these: // turn off application updates: user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);

I also tried to block mozilla.org from iptables but that didn't help either.

Please help me stop automatic updates. We need to be using version 28.

Thanks!

Hi, we don't have the front-end GUI of firefox, it's headless. Runs on ubuntu server. Thanks.
