Why am I receiving update notifications?

In Firefox, I have all 3 boxes cleared in Tools | Options | Advanced | Update, so I should not be seeing update notifications about Firefox, Extensions, or Search Engines. And I have:
extensions.update.autoUpdateEnabled;false
extensions.update.enabled;false
How do I disable FlashGot notifications.

No idea, FlashGot does not manage updates on its own, it delegates to Firefox like any other extension from AMO (and there's been no update for 20 days now, BTW).
Are you seeing any other extension being updated?
Are you sure the pending update has not being downloaded
before you cleared the checkboxes?

I'm using 1.1.1.6.
I get message "Version 1.1.8.7 is available."
Firefox is 3.0.10.

No.

I have not cleared the checkboxes, at least not recently, but they were already cleared.
In my original post, I stated that I already had
extensions.update.autoUpdateEnabled;false
extensions.update.enabled;false

I was pointing you to the FAQ because of the suggested method to turn off updates selectively for FlashGot.
One last attempt:
extensions.update.notifyUser -> false
(my suspect is that the preferences you turned off prevent
automatic updates, but not notifications).
If this fails too, you should file a bug at
http://bugzilla.mozilla.com, product Toolkit, component Add-ons Manager.

Thanx.
I already have
extensions.update.notifyUser;false
But, I've decided to allow update notifications.
