What version of Firefox are you asking
about? The options dialog was changed when Quantum was released.
if you are still using version 52ESR, the instructions are very
different.
If you are using version 52.ESR, open tools, then
options.
Tab once to get into a list of categories
Down arrow seven or eight times to
advanced. If you get stuck and can't move beyond a certain category, up
arrow once then start down arrowing again.
Once you are at advanced, tab two or three times
to general.
Right arrow until you get to
updates.
Tab through and look at the options.
The option about determining how the browser will
handle updating is a list of radio buttons.
After you set it, there is no ok button.
Changes take immediate effect. This is actually a web page like
interface that looks like a dialog. So do whatever you want as though
you were on a web page and want to go to another page, shut down the browser,
whatever you might do while on a web page to leave it and close the browser or
do something else with it.
