Inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Policies -> Mozilla -> Firefox right click in the right hand side of the window to create a new "DWORD 32bit VALUE" entry. Select the new created "Mozilla" key and create a new sub-key "Firefox" within it. Right-click on "Policies" and create a new key "Mozilla". HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Policies Stop/close Firefox, then open up the Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to the following key: Using Registry Editor to disable automatic Firefox app updates Luckily there's a setting to disable the automatic update. For such legacy applications, an older browser with EOL extensions are required. Or VMware's vSphere user interface, which uses Adobe Flash in its "Flex" UI (parallel to the newer HTML5 UI). The Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) is such an example older UCS servers require Adobe Flash to load the user interface. For example when there's need to access an outdated management interface (hopefully in the internal networks only!) requiring old plugins/extensions which are now disabled (e.g. It will also update Firefox.Mozilla's Firefox browser automatically downloads and installs a new Firefox in the background – which is then activated at the next start.Īlthough this is a very good security concept, there might be problems with a newer Firefox version. This will update your whole system, making it way more difficult for you to get hacked. The next thing you should do is click the Application Menu in the lower-left corner of the screen, hover over “Preferences”, and click “Apply Full Upgrade”. Once the installation is complete, you can boot from the USB containing the installation, rather than booting from the live ISO.
Lubuntu will install itself to your flash drive as if it were installing to any other drive in your system. Here’s a picture of the screen where you need to make the changes: Use the “Erase disk” installation option, and change “Swap to file” to “No swap” for the sake of flash drive longevity. When you get to the “Partitions” screen of the installation, click the dropdown next to “Select storage device”, and select your blank flash drive. Just boot up the live ISO, plug in a blank flash drive of a sufficient size, and then follow the Lubuntu installation process. However, if you’re booting from a live ISO for the sake of having an OS on a USB drive, you can install Lubuntu to a USB drive the same way you’d install it to a hard drive. A live ISO should be used for testing out the OS, offline maintenance, and installation. I’ve believe I’ve gotten hacked from failing to update my system regularly (yes, even on Linux). Even if Firefox is up to date, there’s lots of software on a live ISO, and there have been a lot of security updates between now and 6 months ago.
I hate to have to say it, but the setup you’re describing is a very bad idea from a security standpoint.
