I need to disable upgrades

more options

I came home yesterday to find that automatic upgrade had installed FF4 to my system. It was a disaster, none of my plug stuff worked and my bookmarks and other lists were gone. I spent hours getting FF3 back working, and have managed to restore most of my lists but some seem lost forever. I had been saying no manually to the FF4 upgrade since I knew that my plug ins would not work but this happened anyway.

Bottom line, I want this to never happen again so how do I stop automatic upgrades? I have been reminded twice already this morning that FF4 is waiting for me again and I DON'T WANT IT!!!

Personally until the issues with FF4 are resolved I think you should take it down. Bad upgrade!

Thanks, that's perfect. I sure hope they ditch this FF4 and just continue with improving 3, or skip right to 5 if they have to!
