Hi Butch, But you would have to make your desktop shortcut for Firefox point to the new executable as well, wouldn't you?
Thanks for the info, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Butch K via Talk Sent: October 9, 2015 8:55 AM To: Ayers, David (ITCS) <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: RE: Firefox Automatically Updating again David, I took another listers advice and did the following. Go into the folder where fire fox is installed, and find the firefox.exe file. Add the word, old, to the name of this file so that it reads, firefoxold.exe. I have been using fire fox 17 for a while now, and since I added the word, old, it has not upgraded itself, nor has it effected the functionality of the program.
