Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
The problem with frequent updates in BOTH Ubuntu and Windows is the
programmers fail to do a complete test suite on all compatible software
so they introduce glitches that are not present in the standard release.
There should be a button where the user can select "no updates" for most
updates and only allow the major releases like a Win Service Pack 2 or
equivalent through as an update where the update writers have done
adequate homework.
Perhaps there should be a 3 choice box where the user can choose "no
updates ever", "all updates as available", and "major updates only".
In addition, although Window's update rollback feature has at times been
brittle, I see no update rollback feature at all in Ubuntu or Firefox.
If that were available., I would try to remove the bug in my last bug
report that way.
Ubuntu 6 is a security risk -- I could detect a virus by its effects on
Firefox and my gmail service. Ubuntu 7 is much better but how can I
have confidence it won't get worse with the current update as it did
with its newfound inability to play a commercial radio stream from
1190KEX.com as previously reported?
Maybe you guys should get a little more free of the Microsoft model and
start sending users a description of the update showing exactly what was
fixed and why along with the source snippets to inspect and approve or
disapprove if they want before downloading it.
