Hi all!

I am forced to use a specific version of Firefox to use a particular site. The version is 52.0.2 (yeah, I know - don't start). The site also needs a specific version of Java (JRE8 - Update 161). I am on Windows 11 (64 bit) and I also have a regular version of Firefox installed (fully updated to 109.0).

I have successfully installed (multiple times) and I am starting that version of Firefox with it's own shortcut which is configured as

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox Foo\firefox.exe" -p Foo -no-remote

In the first session, I go to Tools->Options-Advanced-Updates and set it to never download updates. If I now exit and start again, Firefox installs updates and upgrades to a new version namely 60.x.x

How can I prevent this behavior?

You are likely too late and Firefox has already downloaded the Firefox 60 version.

If files already have been downloaded and an update is pending then remove the files in the updates\0 folder in the Firefox program folder and possibly the updated folder in the hidden "AppData\Local\Mozilla\updated" folder.

You can possibly place a user.js file in its profile folder to set the update pref(s) and already have disabled updating.

I got it to work on a different machine. Worked first time! I will troubleshoot the other machine and try to find out why it is not working there. Even though it's identically configured.
