Sorry if you've considered this (or if you just wanted to vent) but maybe installing Firefox through a package manager would help you control when it updates.
Download firefox from the mozilla website instead of using the ubuntu package and this won't happen. Or disable auto upgrades.
I don't know how Chrome handles this but Firefox won't install the update without the user confirming it.
Firefox auto-updates. Where does this idea that it doesn't come from?
Make sure to update and restart Firefox.
Turn off automatic updates. You'll get prompted when you open Firefox instead.
Firefox does this too, see Mozilla Maintenance Service.
Go to Firefox settings and disable auto-update? `about:config` > `app.update.auto: false`
With firefox, you can disable extension auto updates.
So, Firefox should stop updating itself?
