I am on win7 Ult (need the foreign language capability)
I have very few *plug-ins*, which I think, is most of the time the cause for *problems*.
There are four (4) Add-Ons, of which three (3) of them are *disabled*.
(You want *one* to run ... , you get a few more as a *bonus* ... yeah right !)
Only one (1) of them still *active*, and only *runs* when *I* want it to run.

I am on version 33, apparently the latest ...
There still is a place where you can choose to update or not.
What are all the nightmares ?
What is not under *your* control ?

The latest Pale Moon builds are current on security patches; older Firefox versions are not.

I've learned that AdBlock is available for Pale Moon, but it's not official, so will not come up as an option on AdBlock's site. It can be found by googling /pale moon adblock/. When it loads, it works.

I had the same problem. I downloaded Firefox 26.0 from Filehippo. Then I opened About Firefox to verify I installed the correct version.... I do not know why I need to disable NIC. I just removed Firefox than installed the browser again. Then I also used Tools > Options > Advanced > Update to disabled the auto update. It really works! I also found a few screenshots which describe this process: How to install older version of Firefox but never never open About Firefox before disabling the auto update

Before I learned my lesson and made a final decision to stay away from the newer Firefox versions, I tried several. And I would have sworn that opening "About Firefox" immediately started an update - even after disabling auto update in the options. Of course, that could have happened on one version but not another. Or maybe I thought I'd turned it off, but really didn't in that case.
