I'm writing some python tests using selenium 2.25.0 and the Firefox webdriver.
I previously had Firefox version 16 (which worked just perfectly), but now it automatically updated itself to version 18, which is causing a lot of problems with my version of selenium and I want Firefox to prevent from updating if I haven't approved so.
I've found that the linux version of Firefox doesn't come with the option in Preferences > Advanced > Update tab to tell it to ask me what to do when a new version is available.
I've tried with selenium==2.26.0 and it kinda works for me locally, but unfortunately updating the version of selenium is no a suitable option since these tests have a while in production.
I already have Firefox 16 binaries and I need it to stay in such version.
Is there any way to accomplish this under Ubuntu 12.04?
Thanks in advance for any help? :)
P.D. I don't care for any add-ons incompatibility, I don't need them so it's ok that some add-ons are not available after solving this.

Open the Firefox browser. Click on the hamburger menu icon or press Alt + F and select Settings. In the General section, scroll down to the Firefox Updates section. Uncheck the option Use a background service to install updates.
There are two possible causes for this. You may have that tab saved accidentally as your home page (which Firefox opens each time you start) or Firefox may be having trouble saving to your settings file which results in it not realizing you have already seen the "You've been updated" message.
If you want to disable Download Panel automatic opening in Firefox, then try the following method. Open Mozilla Firefox on your computer. Go to the Download icon, if it's not there, try downloading something, that will make the icon appear. Now, right-click on the icon and uncheck Show Panel When Download Begins.
Use about:config to set app.update.enabled and app.update.auto to False.
