How do I prevent (or rather disallow) Firefox to check for newer versions of add-ons and themes and plug-ins before it starts up.
Since I am on a proxy connection, I get a dozen proxy password boxes every time I start Firefox.
This also seems to make Firefox load more slowly.

  • Firefox
  • Installed add-ons

  • It will not stop you from clicking the Tools Menu -> Add-Ons and then Click the find Updates button
