After upgrading to Firefox 5.0 on Windows XP SP3 fully patched, my laptop would not boot properly. After many attempts at uninstalling FF 5 I gave up and reinstalled Windows. All is well now running FF 4.01 and I want to keep it that way. Thanks for your help.

In the about:config window, change these settings:

  • app.update.auto - set to false

Thanks for your response. I just found the answer in the Advanced/Updates section of Options/Tools.
