Ad-Blocker 1.2.1.0.0 and uBlock Origin 1.11.4 on Windows 7 Home Premium. Neither has asked to be updated.

Don't know that this helps...

Best of luck.

In Firefox, go to Tools >Add Ons and find your installed extensions.
Across from AdBlock Plus there is an Options button, in that you can disable updates.
