ThaurwylthIsn't it kind of mysterious and kind of non-mysterious that Firefox updates itself forcibly without input from the user? I mean it updates even though you don't run Apt.11:44
JanCsounds like you don't use the Ubuntu version of Firefox12:27
ograyup, the official deb has the builtin update mechanism disabled12:34
ThaurwylthWhat does not using the Ubuntu version mean? I have definitely taken no steps to not use an Ubuntu version. Is it still possible to accidentally have a non-Ubuntu version?13:50
ThaurwylthThis is my package, at least according to Apt: firefox/hirsute-updates,hirsute-security,now 90.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.21.04.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]13:52
daftykinsgrep /var/log/apt/history.log - more than likely an unattended upgrade or something else brought it up - it doesn't update itself 13:58
ThaurwylthWell, at one point apt list --upgradable showed 'firefox' among the list of packages, then Firefox gave me a 'Has been updated in the background, please restart' prompt, after that Firefox has disappeared on the list after apt update apt list --upgradable.14:31
daftykinsso check the log i mentioned14:33
ThaurwylthCommandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade14:40
ThaurwylthUpgrade: firefox:amd64 (90.0+build1-0ubuntu0.21.04.1, 90.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.21.04.1)14:40
ThaurwylthCommandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade14:40
ThaurwylthUpgrade: firefox:amd64 (90.0+build1-0ubuntu0.21.04.1, 90.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.21.04.1)14:40
ThaurwylthWoooops.14:40
ThaurwylthSo, next question, what does an unattended upgrade mean?14:41
leftyfbThaurwylth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates14:41
daftykinsit happened and you didn't attend it ;D14:41
ThaurwylthHmmmm, that sounds scary. Maybe it's okay in the grand scheme of things that there's such a feature.14:44
daftykinsthe good news is, it's Linux - configure it as you prefer14:49
leftyfbyeah, I hate when my system keeps the most popular outward facing attack vector up to date with security updates14:49
daftykinsthat was a really unfortunate tone to add to the convo14:51
