Well I loaded up update manager today and it wants to replace Firefox 4.0.1 with 5.0beta5. To double check I fired out apt-cache policy firefox
and there it is:
5.0~b5+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.1 0
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-proposed/main amd64 Packages
I've never known Ubuntu to update the browser like this before, mid-release. Especially not to a beta.
Does anybody know what's going on behind the scenes? Why is Natty having its browser updated to a new major version?
