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!

I also got sick and tired of all of the updates that kept coming from
Firefox and each time something else got "broken" (by that I mean
add-ons that stopped working because they were no longer being
maintained and no longer compatible with the latest Firefox updates).
I have Pale Moon, but it doesn't support the Widevine DRM plug in that
allows me to watch Netflix (and it also doesn't have nearly the add-on
support that Firefox has).
For me the best solution was Firefox ESR. It only gets a major update
about once a year, otherwise it's just security fixes that get back
ported. Much less disruptive.
