No, of course not. If it had, I wouldn't have upgraded. This is
typical Ubuntu methods; no concern for the user. I'll not make that
mistake again.

I understand this is annoying and unexpected when doing an upgrade. Yet
this is behaving as implemented. The upgrader should have warned you
that it was going to remove a number of packages, with an option to view
the list of packages to be removed. Did it not do that?

Obviously this has nothing to do with PPAs. This has to do with the
system wiping out all the installed programs and forcing manual re-
installations.
In this specific case, Ubuntu also damaged the linkages between programs
and their data. This is most bizarre because one would have thought
When you upgrade from one version of Ubuntu to the next, PPAs are
disabled, because there's no way to ensure that the PPA contains
packages for the version you're upgrading to. That's an expected
behaviour.

Olivier, I'm afraid that you appear to be laboring under a
misunderstanding. Please note that the issue is not what is supported,
but rather the stupidity of upgrade design that wipes out existing
programs. There is absolutely no reason to not care enough about users
to not leave things alone.
Firefox ESR is not an official Ubuntu package. As seen on
