In OPTIONS window > ADVANCED panel > Update tab in Automatically check for updates to uncheck FIREFOX [ ], uncheck also the Automatically download and install the update in When updates to Firefox are found session > click OK to save it, exit firefox and restart-it.

see for more info: Options window - Advanced panel - update tab
