I'm using Debian 8.0 with Mate as DE. There have been no updates 
installed as internet is not physically available to that machine.

I went to
Applications->System Tools->Caja then to
Edit->Preferences which displayed "File Management Preferences"
chose Media
  selected "Never prompt or start program on media insertion"
  deselected "Browse media when inserted"

It still mounts everything :<

Anything else?
