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)'. How can I prevent this from happening, and instead keep Firefox 52.9.0 ESR?ĮDIT: I fixed it by changing the update settings to 'never check for updates'. 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. 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.

I've been doing this by taking the zip file from the archive, extracting it to my desired folder, then running firefox.exe. I am trying to download the Firefox 52.9.0 ESR (32-bit) as it can run Java as a plugin in the browser.
