For god's sake, #Firefox stop, fucking updating!

Left the phone alone for a minute and Firefox decided it was time to sneak in a quick move from version 68 to 79.

I've got auto-updates off for the app itself, and now I've turned off all auto-updates.

I've restored 68 and reinstalled the add-ons and saved settings, yet again!

Only caught it doing it because the phone is #KDEConnect'd to my laptop, which I was using at the time.

Because version 79 barely works on my tablet, and was near useless on my old phone. 68, meanwhile does everything I need it for and works fine on both tablet & phone.

Laptop, meanwhile, does stay up-to-date, & in fact is running version 81 Beta 4, with no issues, though an earlier beta did have trouble with sizing of the window.

I'd rather have an app I can use on all three, with two devices running older versions, than have the latest one on all and have it be unusable on two!

@Demosthenes
But, if it comes to it, I'll happily ditch #Firefox on both my phone and tablet for another browser, if I get any more sh*t from either it or the #Google Play store with regards to updating it when I don't want it updated.
