    The user controls the updates in LM. Some users may not even /use/ the
    LM software manager, such as favoring Synaptic for package control, and configuring the LM update manager to 'taste'.

    Well; I agree that there are all kinds of different ways to handle the
    issue of updates of all kinds, incl FF & Tb.

    'Our' LM world has plenty of different options. There's a 'deep'
    discussion going on in the Ffx group which involves other worlds.

    sorry, i'm NOT sure. for the specs JS 2026, the minimum is firefox 146.

    for example, google stopped support windows 7 and firefox < 146 !

    so, if a day someone want to do a tiny web page...is better to upload
    a kindy browser :)

    remember me when your page re-load.
