I was able to reinstall the regular version of FF 15 I had on my computer
and followed the directions to prevent updates. It seems to have worked.
15 just installed over 19.
I did go to the site to download the portable version of Firefox and
downloaded version portable 15 and portable 16. But when I clicked on them
it went to an upload/download page which said version 19 would be installed.
So I am glad I was able to put the regular version 15 on. Now to see if it
works and doesn't freeze.
But I do think Jaws should work on keeping the compatibility with upgrades
of IE 9 and Firefox for security reasons.

Heyya Sherrie:
To prevent Firefox from updating. Open firefox, on the tools menu find,
options, once you do & open it, you're presented with a list box, use your
up & down arrows until you find advanced, tab down once & find a page which
says general. Control tab until you find the update tab, once found, tab
once & find the 3 radiobutton choices which are, audomaticly check for &
install updates, check for updates but ask me what to do & do nothing, make
your choice & tab until you find the ok button. As far as how many versions
you can have & run on your system, I'm not the answerman for that perhaps
someone else can help you.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] How do I prevent Firefox from automatically upgrading
Since Firefox 19 constantly freezes using my Win 7 64 bit Dell laptop with
Jaws 14 I reinstalled Firefox 15 which was the original version I had
installed. I checked and it said Firefox 15. I went through all the
options and could not find any that mentioned automatic upgrades.
But when I opened Firefox the next time it just said “Upgrading” and it
went back to 19. No choice offered at all.
So how do I make it stay at version 15?
I really need it for at least 6 websites that I frequently use.
When Firefox freezes it won’t quit with any keystrokes including Alt
control escape or alt control delete or alt F4 or anything else.
I have to restart the computer and that is a royal pain.
I was advised in a previous message that one could have several different
versions of Firefox on the computerat the same time.
When I installed Firefox 15 after having Firefox 19 already on the
computer it replaced the version 19. I went to the control panel remove
programs and checked the list to see which versions showed up and it only
showed version 15 so I assumed it had replaced the version 19.
But the first time I tried using it after that it went back to 19.
Help, please.
