Steps to reproduce:
In about:config, I set app.update.auto==false

Firefox should have prompted me to update, but should not have stopped working if I did not update.
I am through with firefox. Chrome is downloading now.

The app.update.auto pref was intentionally disabled some time ago in bug 1458308, for the reasons explained there. But, if you click the button labeled "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" in the Options tab (about:preferences), that should work. Can you try that and let us know how it goes? Thanks.

Going to close this one out since it looks like we still need some more information here.
:arnold, if you have a chance to respond, please do so here and we'll re-open this one. Thanks for reporting!
