stop updating my firefox
I have downloaded firefox 89.0.2 and it works great on my M1 mac mini! The problem i have is whenever i have to restart my computer firefox wants to update. When my firefox updates to 92.0 it runs like dead dog! i open lots of tabs and works great on ver 89.0.2 but on ver 92 i can only open 4 or five tabs before the program is unusable. i have to unistall the new version or update and reinstall 89.0.2 and everything works great again. What is the problem? I get tired of uninstalling and reinstalling the 89.0.2 version.

Step one: How do you completely turn off update checks in Firefox v64? You can use a policies.json file to disable updates for all users. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md or https://winaero.com/blog/disable-updates-firefox-63-above/
You can use a policies.json file in the distribution folder in the Firefox installation folder instead as also listed in the article, so no need to use GPO keys in the Windows Registry. • https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You can use the ManualAppUpdateOnly policy in Firefox 87+ to enable only manual updates e.g. via "Help -> About Firefox".

Note that it is important to stay up to date and install the latest security patches.
Step two: Note: Some versions of Quantum change how the data files are set up, so they may not be backward compatible.
Install Older Version Of Firefox {web link} Be sure to read everything here.
If you still want to downgrade, look under; I still want to downgrade. Click the Directory of other versions and languages link. Look for the directory of the version that you want. But, remember that old versions may have security issues.
Note: If you know what version you want, press <Control> (Mac=<Command>) F to open the search bar. Then enter the version number to see the available files.
