There are two methods to Disable Auto Update in Firefox:

Go to the “Tools” menu (in the menu bar) and choose Preferences / Options. On Mac OS X Go to the “Firefox” menu bar and choose preferences or press cmd+,
Choose the “Advanced” tab and the “Update” sub tab, and then choose one of the options:
- Install updates automatically (recommended)
- Download update but let me choose whether to install them
- Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them
- Never check for updates (not recommended)
Firefox: Disable Auto Update Method 2
In your browser bar type in about:config
and press return.
Type in app.update.auto

entry. Set this to:
