How do I fix Firefox updates so they take place only on a certain date

I access the internet via satellite (rural SW France!), and have a limit on downloads each month. I want the Firefox updates to happen only on the 5th of each month, not automatically. How can I stop Firefox from updating automatically, and select the date I want the updates to take place?

There is no built in way to get Firefox to check for updates on 5th of each month. You can disable the automatic updates and manually check for updates. For details of how to do that see updating Firefox.
