Hi,

I googled many answers on stopping the auto-update of firefox. But unable to do so and not able to use the feature provided as part of browser. I do this deliberately to have my selenium framework support the static version of the browser as every latest update may not have an immediate supported Selenium server ready.

I did the following, but no luck,

1) Tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Update --> Set to "never check...". After restart, the option is set to "Automatically install...". 2) about:config --> Set the following as below: 

----- app.update.url = null
----- app.update.url.details = null
----- app.update.url.manual = null
----- app.update.mode = 0
----- app.update.silent = false

But still when I go to About --> Firefox; Automatically updates start downloading.

Is there any solution to stop auto-update and let me download/update firefox by me manually. Why the build in feature doesn't work?

Am using Win7 Enterprise 64bit Service Pack1.

That isn't the auto update causing the update - it triggers a manual update when you open About Firefox. At least until that was changed in Firefox 37.0

IMO, when using Selenium, you would be better served by using the ESR version (Extended Support Release) of Firefox. It receives one major version update for every 8 Rapid Release version updates. You receive security updates without the major version changing, and without receiving any new features like the Release versions have. ESR is intended for "institutional use", but there is no prohibition on regular users using ESR.
