By "minor updates", do you mean 43.0.1, 43.1, 43.2, et cetera, if any such are released? AFAIK no such updates are released after the next "major" version is released, except in the case of the ESR. That would seem to imply that you could get the same result by just disabling updates outright. > Is this possible? Not as far as I'm aware. What I would recommend instead is to install Firefox ESR, which does get minor-release updates after the release of new versions (for roughly a year); if I've read the discussions correctly, Mozilla has sort-of promised that ESR 45+ will include some mechanism for enterprises to continue to use internal addons without signing. (Although what that mechanism will be is still far from clear.) I use and deploy the ESR exclusively, and would recommend that everyone else do the same, for multiple reasons; this just adds another one. I hope to be able to use the "disable forced central signing" mechanism in ESR for my own use; if it is not available, I will very likely stick with ESR 38.7 until some better solution becomes available. (This wouldn't be the first time I've done something like that; I stuck with Firefox 3.x until sometime around the release of Firefox 24, and one of my computers is _still_ on Thunderbird 2.x, almost entirely due to undesirable UI modifications.) - -- Andrew J.
