Disable "Checking Your Add-ons" When Launching Firefox
Currently in our enterprize enviroment we have an older version of Firefox that we can not upgrade (long story).
When a user first launches Firefox, the first windows says "Checking Your Add-on's"
How can I get Firefox to not have this pop up?
Note: This is on a Citrix Provisioning Server, I have a default profile that when people launches Firefox all the certs etc gets loaded. Is there a way in the default profile to configure not to check Add-On's ?

There is a setting in the menu in the Addons window for "Update Addons Automatically". Make sure that it is not checked. You can also reset all addons to update manually.
You could set lastVersion prefs to the value of that new Firefox version to prevent such a check.
user_pref("extensions.lastAppVersion", "32.0");
user_pref("extensions.lastPlatformVersion", "32.0");
You could do that via user.js file in the defaults\pref folder in the Firefox program folder to initialize new profiles or via a mozilla.cfg file for all users (use pref() instead of user_pref()).
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value pref(); // set pref, allow changes in current session lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
