My Firefox was hit by the update madness. I used to be able to turn off the look for updates before version 70.0.1, now I can't and Firefox won't stop notifying me about new updates. Since the setting in gone in the options, what are other ways to solve this?

Unfortunately you can only restrict it to only look and not auto install, but can't turn off the looking itself.

How do you completely turn off update checks in Firefox v64? You can use a policies.json file to disable updates for all users. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md or https://winaero.com/blog/disable-updates-firefox-63-above/
