It is extremely dangerous to use a browser that is not fully up-to-date.

Security patches and general updates are not distinct anymore. You might aswell end up with more bugs by updating.

I'm using Firefox Nightly and it lets me manually control when updates are installed.

Alternatively, on Linux you can use the distro Firefox package and control its updates that way.
