I am looking for instructions on how I can disable the automatic updates on FireFox 5 for all users on Windows 7 because we use a pool of testing VMs, that multiple people log-on to and it creates a new user profile for each person. We need consistency on the version of Firefox and the way our testers are testing.

Modified the following file "c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\channel-prefs.js" to contain the following.

pref("app.update.enabled", false); pref("extensions.update.enabled", false);

Those boxes are de-selected on the parent now.
