Firefox Automatic Updates how to turn it off

Mike & Barbara In Arcadia <mb69mach1@...> #611 Hi Marsha, When you have the automatically check for updates to Firefox box checked, tab 3 times to, When updates to Firefox are found. Here you will have 2 choices; 1. Ask me what I want to do, radio button. 2. Automatically download & install the update, radio button. So, you can make a choice of what you want to do with updates, then tab to okay, press enter, to close & return to your home page. Hope this helps. Take care.

You might like to know when there is an update but not want to update it.

Adrian Spratt #591 Mike, What excellent instructions, and how thoughtful of you to go to this trouble. I've just tested them on a non-Firefox page (for the record, Amazon.com) and they still work. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounces@lists.the-jdh.com [mailto:jfw-bounces@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Mike & Barbara In Arcadia Sent: Saturday, July 09, 2011 9:00 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Re: Firefox Automatic Updates how to turn it off Hi Again Cal, Below are the steps on how to turn off automatic updating in Firefox 3.6. 1. While on the Firefox Home Page, Press Alt + T, for tools, & press the letter O, for options. You will now be in a List Box. 2. Arrow up or down until you land on the Advanced option. 3. Tab 1 time & you will be in a whole new set of tabs. They are labeled as follows; General, Network, Update, & Encryption. 4. Arrow up or down until you land on the update Tab. Tab 1 time & you will hear, " automatically check for updates to," Firefox, checkbox. If this box is checked, press the spacebar to uncheck it. 5. Now, tab to okay, press enter, to close, & take you back to the Home Page. While tabbing to the okay button you will have noticed that there are some other important / interesting options in this Update Tab as well. Hope this helps. Take care.

Is there any way to disable this feature or stop the update once it starts? Thank you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Mike & Barbara In Arcadia <mb69mach1@...> #590 Hi Julie, My steps are for the search engine / home page that Mozilla Firefox uses as its default when you install Firefox. http://www.google.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official Sorry for the confusion. Take care. Mike toggle quoted messageShow quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: julie To: The Jaws for Windows support list.
