I stopped using Google Chrome because, 
after a while, AutoPlay would resume, despite my efforts to stop it;
obviously, AutoPlay makes Google richer -- TV rich/stupid. 

I run FireFox 56 because 57 doesn't allow my ( ad killing ) extensions;
another money grab, I assume.

For many frustrating months now,
I've been bashing my head against the wall,
trying to stop FireFox's "HeartBeat" from NAGGING me to update.

The solution:

  Using "about:config" set "extensions.shield-recipe-client.enabled"
  to "false", set "extensions.shield-recipe-client.api_url" to "",
  and "extensions.shield-recipe-client.run_interval_seconds" to "-1".

Before, "run_interval_seconds" was set to _ nag me every 24 hours.
