[SOLVED] Disabling firefox auto=update
Apparently they removed the option from the settings menu a while back. Preferences settings in about:config don't do anything. So I put a "lock" option on the package via the package manager, and hope that will do the trick.
What is the "correct" way to disable firefox auto-update?

Re: [SOLVED] Disabling firefox auto=update
isn't that equivalent to "lock" (in synaptic package manger)?

Most likely.
I don't "gui" system maintenance and hardly know synaptic. A more correct first reply might have been "Yes, this should do the trick.".
