#2 - Firefox v62.0b1x, which I download directly from Mozilla. ... What occurred today is something which I did not expect on a Linux system: Firefox *UPGRADED* *ITSELF* to version 62.0b17. ... Is this ability in Firefox, and Thunderbird, acceptable behaviour or am I being paranoid?
It is a default behavior you can turn off via the last page of preferences if you do not like it. Packages provided by Linux distro package management systems turn it off, because they work with dependencies that must be kept in version sync. Mozilla.org builds are static, not dependent in the same way, so like Windows & Mac versions they can be automatically updated without affecting the operating system on which installed. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
