Ok, then.. Hello! (sorry for bad english) My problem is 2 at once - main and less. MAIN problem: I am using now FF ver.20 . I use it because from long ago i was using a YandexVisualBookmarks-VER.xpi (its an addon) and i feel myself very uncomfortable when there is no such thing. The problem is that after Y..V..B..-1.9.xpi this addon was changed A LOT and NOT at good direction, moreover it Not works with FF ver.21 and higher versions . Some time ago my FF starts randomly update itself by changeing its Never-update option to Auto-update. Everytime it happens Y..V..B.. asks my to re-accept its licence, so there is nothing hard to chage options back to Never-update, but it happens SO often and So everyday, that it just angryed me, otherwords... ..How can i make my FF really Never-updateable? (main) or How i can make my YandexVisualBookmarks-1.9.xpi workable with Firefox ver.21-30 And make this FF's windows looks the same as at ver.20 (look like impossible - less)

Anyway thanks.

It is not safe to use old versions of Firefox, they are insecure and out of date, not to mention the bugs and performance issues in older versions that have been fixed in recent ones.

Plus, using an old version of an add-on leaves another hole for attackers to target.

I know that change is rough, but you should consider either updating your add-on and Firefox, or updating Firefox, removing your add-on and finding a replacement. It is not safe to continue using the internet as you are.
