Because sometimes I'd really like for Firefox not to hog my 3G connection.

bhearsum, Application Update already supports this and the Firefox UI doesn't have it because UX decided that it wanted a minimal UI hence why I moved this bug back.

This has become a problem for me, too. The first time I boot up my laptop many mornings is on the train, on my tethered connection. The update download that happens both makes my connection unusable and wastes bandwidth. I know this is generally only a problem for Nightly/Aurora, and for those of us who happen to tether a lot, but it really, really sucks.
