What about just disabling the update from the addon? That's what I did and I didn't downloaded the update automatically. Could this be bypass or are people disabling the update safe from malicious update?

That will work too. I know Firefox allows this but Chrome only allows all or no auto updates.

Indeed, you should add it to a "safety" section, in your post ;)

I did :) @armandocat controls the post :)
