Firefox Upgrade Question
by Tangles from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54AEJ)
I upgraded Ubuntu Desktop to the latest LTS version a couple weeks ago but ran into some stability issues. I have since reinstalled 19.10 and have a question regarding Firefox. Will Firefox continue to be upgraded if it was installed along with the OS?
I know, typically, the Firefox releases can take time to show up via "apt update" but v77 (and 77.0.1) has been out for several days now and Ubuntu thinks my Firefox is current (76.0.1)
Can I expect that the Firefox that was installed with the OS will no longer receive updates unless I upgrade the OS now, or uninstall it and reinstall it from a different source?
