taking a quick look in about:config (and doing no other research), it appears that there are probably several ways to disable the update
likely keys include
app.update.enabled
app.update.interval
app.update.mode (would need to look at the code to find what values other than '1' do)
app.update.url (if it's looking the wrong place for an upgrade, it won't find anything to upgrade to. you could even point this at a system you manage so that you get the benefits of auto-updating at the client, but on your schedule)
I would expect that a google search, or a search of the mozilla forums/lists would give you more concrete answers.
Personally, I run the Aurora version everywhere. It tries to update daily and I just ignore the suggestion until I feel like doing so.

If you toggle the about:config pref app.update.silent, then Firefox will download updates but it won't pop up the annoying "Restart Now/Later" dialog. The next time you restart Firefox, it will be updated.
