I'm posting this here because the question really cuts across different versions.
Today, among the natty upgrades, was one that "upgraded" firefox 4 to firefox 5, which is still a beta version, and therefore broke all of my extensions and themes. I'm not happy about that, and I want to:
1. Revert to firefox 4 (I do have a backup of my ~/.mozilla directory), and
2. Prevent updates from installing beta versions of firefox.
As far as I can tell, I do not have any repositories installed for beta firefox's; this may have come from backports, or ??. At this point, it seems my only option is to download ff from the mozilla site and install it in /opt. But that means running the 32 bit version, which means flash nightmares again. I am really not impressed with the beta firefoxs, so I'd rather not have them.
I can probably deal with (2) by holding the package. Any suggestions as to other ways of dealing with (1)?
