How can I prevent FF from forcing me to update?
I installed FF 28.0 (since 29 and 30 are absolute disasters), set FF to "never check for updates" and to turn the background update service off. FF updates to 30 regardless. I actually have the 28.0 installer in my documents folder so I can downgrade to 28.0 every time this happens.
-Start computer -Start Firefox -Close Firefox -Do other stuff -Restart firefox -Updates without asking (even though I clearly have it set to never check for updates and have the background update disabled)

I have heard there is a bug in that version causing the update options to be ignored.

Hello, for your 28.0 firefox version use the next code in a user.js file in your profile :
// turn off application updates: user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);

Ahh bummer, thanks Fred.
ideato: l2read, they are off.
Are you sure that you create a user.js file and you write the code inside ? I'm not talking in about:config, in about:config probably they are off ! :-) :-)
thanks again
