I am trying to download the Firefox 52.9.0 ESR (32-bit) as it can run Java as a plugin in the browser. I've been doing this by taking the zip file from the archive, extracting it to my desired folder, then running firefox.exe. This works fine for the first session, but in order to complete installing the latest Java, I have to close Firefox and start a new session, upon which it automatically updates to Firefox Quantum 60.2.0 ESR, which I don't want. It does this even when I have set the update setting to 'ask for updates but let me choose to install' within the first session. How can I prevent this from happening, and instead keep Firefox 52.9.0 ESR?
EDIT: I fixed it by changing the update settings to 'never check for updates'. However, upon starting my 2nd session, it still tried to update, but gave an error something along the lines of 'update failed (failed to apply update patch)'. Luckily this error message doesn't seem to appear at the start of new sessions. Weird that it tries to automatically update, even though I've set it not to.
