@CrispyRoll: You can prevent individual extensions from updating in pref.js. Type about:config in the address bar. You'll need to create a new boolean value in the form of extensions.{GUID}.update.enabled.

I use extensions.{582195F5-92E7-40a0-A127-DB71295901D7}.update.enabled to keep GMail Manager from updating.

@atomizer I've been unable to get extensions to update automatically & silently using any combination of tools > options > advanced > update & prefs.js. How do you do it?
