ubuntu comes with firefox (stable) built-in. I wanted to try Aurora, so I added ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora to the source list and upgraded this way :



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


now let us suppose that I want to go back to the stable version of firefox, what would be the safest way to do so ?



thank you.



Edit :



As pointed out by @vasa1, I am not talking specifically about firefox, but about the concept of going back to a lesser version in general.
I have google-chrome installed so I guess, Ubuntu will one end up browserless.






Problem solved using @IgnitE's solution.

You can use ppa-purge to remove a ppa. Just do:



sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora  


Description from man page:




ppa-purge - disables a PPA and reverts to official packages.

This script provides a bash shell script capable of automatically downgrading all packages in a given PPA back to the ubuntu versions.




(You can install ppa-purge by sudo apt-get install ppa-purge).
