My update preference for Firefox is to download but I will install it. But it consistenly (over the last numerous updates) changes it to Automatic. I do not want Automatic updates. I want to control when it updates. I do not see this issue addressed anywhere. I have checked numerous times. Please help! My sincere thank you for your time and attention to my request for help. Sincerely, Nicolas

Is the answer such a dark secret that no one will answer me? Interesting - I did read somewhere that Firefox (now I can not remember where I saw it) switches our settings to automatic download and automatic installation everytime we get an update or Firefox is installed. I have no idea if this is correct. I have hoped that Firefox Support would have answered my question by now. Amazing that this issue is not in Support. What is the answer Firefox?
