Uficle: Ubuntu updates by purplepineapple 2007-03-05 16:19:05
I have a little orange square and it is driving me batty. I have upgraded manually to Firefox2 and now Ubuntu is trying to get me to change back 1.5.whatever. It's almost as bad as Windows update constantly insisting I reboot after an update.

How can I tell Ubuntu to ignore these Firefox "updates", so the little orange square will go away until there really is a suggested update?!
