OT: Can;'t find a Mozilla user group

[Anthra Norell]

I can't run Firefox and Thunderbird without getting these upgrade
ordering windows. I don't touch them, because I have reason to suspect
that they are some (Russian) virus that hijacks my traffic. Occasionally
one of these window pops up the very moment I hit a key and next a
confirmation message appears "reassuring" me that the upgrade will be
installed the next time I start. I meant to ask Mozilla about their
upgrade policy and facilities but for all the googling I do I can't find
a contact address, nor an active user group. Hints will be greatly
appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know a Mozilla news group,
but in Settings Advanced -> Settings -> Updates
you can choose if updats will be installed automatically or if you want
to be asked.

Additionally you could check your SW version in the Help->About Menu and
then go to the Firefox / Thunderbird web site and look at which version
they are?

So you know at least whether there is a pending update

In my copies of Firefox and Thunderbird:
Tools - Options - Advanced - Update

I have 'ask me' checked because auto updates do not seem to work in
non-admin accounts. So at my convenience, I switch to admin, go to Help
- Check for Updates, and when it finds it, click install.

Thank you all! Great advice!
