stopping Firefox updates

it says in the update history that the updates were installed on december 31, 1969

What version Firefox are you running? Firefox > Help > About Firefox.

Any other problems with this computer, eg time and date?

I had a look at my update history:
3.6.6 installed 1-1-1970 1:00
3.5.8 installed 1-1-1970 1:00
3.5.7 installed 16-1-2010 15:58
3.0.17 installed 1-1-1970 1:00
3.0.16 installed 1-1-1970 1:00
and so on

How is it with you? All perfect? If not and you're concerned about it, why not file a bug with Mozilla? It obviously is.

I'd never looked here. It was instructive to see how to disable those automatic updates (although I won't).

My Firefox update history looks like this;

3.6.4 installed 23 June 2010 19:51:44
3.6.3 installed 02 April 2010 11:50:03
3.6.2 installed 23 March 2010 20:02:116

Nothing before 2010 and certainly no 1970 or 1969 dates

But my Vista was reinstalled soon after the new year, so perhaps that makes a difference.

I assume Firefox dates are incorrect in some cases.

but about a month ago, the fan on the processor died, fried my video card, and my "C" drive died, so I had to reinstall everything.

Right now, I've got 3.5.10

I've still got XP, but I'll probably change to 7 before long.

everything else is running better, but the earlier version of Firefox seemed to work better for dial-up

Updating is usually best for security reasons, but if they don't work for you, then stay with what does.

Good luck.
