I have already upgraded, and found that useful items like right click "search google for "xxx"" were not available any more, and that tool bars had changed. So I would prefer to stay with 3.6.25 until thing improve, so I would like to know how do I disable updates so I can stay with 3.6.25?

1. "search google for "xxx"" is still there, as long as Google is selected as the search engine in the Search Bar, otherwise it is the selected search engine that would appear in the Context menu.

2. All the Firefox 4.0+ versions can be made to look almost identical with a small amount of customization.

Options - Advanced - Updates - When updates to Firefox are found: Ask me what I want to do or Automatically download and install the update. Click the Ask me what I want to do if you don't want it putting any on without your say so. I still have 3.6.25 myself and I just ignore the upgrade now thing when I put a update on or check.
