I am after something like firefox['update'] = "never" equivalent in cookbook recipe for firefox as auto updates is causing issues with selenium tests. Could someone please help?

Looking at the attributes provided by the cookbook reveals the following:

default['firefox']['version'] = 'latest'

So setting this to some specific version would be a starting point (not sure if you have set this, as you seem to lack the knowledge how to find the attributes provided by a cookbook.

Regarding actually disabling updates, a quick search revealed this thread, which lists the option that needs to be added to the user.js file in your profile:

user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
