#1

I have Ubuntuzilla set up and am running 3.6.4pre as a result of this. Update manager keeps trying to push an update to 3.5.x to me, and then goes through the process (ask me to reboot browser), but I remain on 3.6.4 (as preferred).

Is there anyway to make the system start forgetting about updating 3.5?

#2

ubuntuzilla does not have 3.6.4pre, it only has releases, therefore 3.6.3 is the latest in the ubuntuzilla repositories.

you're probably getting stuff from the daily builds repo instead.

#3

Ubuntuzilla is in my sources.list, so not sure how I would be getting the daily build. Some update was pushed out yesterday that has actually made FF 3.6.4 nearly unusable. Others have reported that this has to do with the Flash plugin and that if one disables flash, the issue goes away.

My sources.list is below. I don't see any other mozilla reference beisdes ubuntuzilla. How can I get ubuntuzilla to be back in charge?

Hi no idea... maybe the daily ppa is in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/?

what command do you use to start firefox? /usr/bin/firefox? or something else?

#5

Yes, the daily appears to be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d (see below). So even though ubuntuzilla is my sources.list, this entry is over-riding it? If I remove the sources.list.d entry, and do an update, will it revert me to the Ubuntuzilla version?

The command used to launch firefox on my system (e.g. what's in the launcher), is just: firefox

However, this appears to trigger multiple processes (see system monitor below)

hi you can remove the mozilla-daily.list and .list.save from that directory. then ``` sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.6

sudo apt-get install firefox-mozilla-build

(don't forget to completely exit firefox before you do that)

now you should be able to start firefox as normal, with the 'firefox' command, and it should be the mozilla release of 3.6.3.
