I had FF set to never check. On it's own, this setting was changed to "Check for updates but Let me choose". However, the setting is actually, "Automatically install". How do I fix this? I can decide on updates all by myself.

Change was from V 28 to V 29.

There was a previous way by going through the Options menu to disable updates but after disabling it through there, when you would go to Help > About Firefox, it would update regardless of that setting.

You can set these prefs in about:config to disable automatic updating:
app.update.auto - false
app.update.enabled - false
app.update.silent - false
