SilverWav's Journal

The latest firefox without the update hassle.
One daily a month from ubuntu-mozilla-daily.

• One update a month.
• Firefox and xulrunner only.
• Tested in a virtual machine.

Firefox has its own PPA so nothing else gets updated.
You don’t get swamped with updates.
You do get the latest Firefox each month.

One downside of using ubuntu-mozilla-daily is the number of updates offered.
Another is that packages other than Firefox are present in the PPA.

This is my solution.
