I've used Seamonkey in the past, and really liked the way I could work on my 'personal'

I am being forced to abandon Firefox, which I've been using for around 15 years
now (and really liked, until the later iterations). I work from home, and
absolutely CANNOT have software automatically install updates and force me to
shut down (without being able to access another website to alert people). I've
tried all of the tricks I could find to prevent automatic installation of
updates, but nothing has worked, and I do NOT want to loose my job because of
the programmers refusing to listen to reason.
(1): Can I LOCK OUT automatic installation of updates? I MUST be able to
choose when updating happens.
(2): How up-to-date is Seamonkey kept? I already have strong security on my
system, but need to avoid security holes.
(3) How easy is it now to migrate Bookmarks, passwords, and so on?
(4): "Bonus" question - is the composer still part of Seamonkey?
I use Ubuntu 18:04 LTS - switched to it around the time I abandoned Office and
IE (for security and other valid reasons).
Thanks!

Are you using the distributions build of Firefox on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?
You could install a version of Firefox you like from
<https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/>
I hear you can change the update channel from release to none or default
in channel-prefs.js and it won't update. (Not verified by me)
Updates in SeaMonkey are broken so you should be able to install and be
happy.
Can't comment on 2 or 3.
Composer is still an unsupported component of SeaMonkey and no longer
being updated. AIUI.
Good Luck!
