Are any of you using a post install script to disable firefox auto updates? I usually build out the package in composer and disable auto-updates using a .js file that way. However, I've moved over to using autopkgr, and am not using composer. I'm thinking a post-install script will be the best way, but I'm admittedly not great at scripting yet.
If anyone has something written up, I'd very much appreciate it!

I don't use it, but I'm pretty sure most people use CCK.

Rather than scripting, create the various files you require and add them as a package that is installed post your Firefox pkg. You can then swap out the newer Firefox pkg provided by autopkg, whilst the config pkg will remain the same.
