@elvisplatini: Thanks for the post, I was hoping that since this issue is "significant" . . . that it would have been patched by now . . . but apparently not. I did try to look in synaptic to see if the history of FF versions would be listed, but, nope . . . only the 46 . . . . In 16.04 I have been using Qupzilla, it's OK, but function is a bit "limited" and/or even "slow" . . . like trying to log into LP here the cursor wouldn't load into the email user box . . . for several minutes . . . then, I went back to it, and it was there . . . .
I might get around to trying out your commands . . . but, if it is marked as "hold" . . . if and when the patched version shows up (hard to know when that might happen) . . . how would I "un-hold" it?

The iBook error says it "doesn't have enough memory to report the problem" . . . and on the PM . . . apparently it says the error report was "corrupted" . . . no launchpad window opened in the browser when I clicked on the "report the problem." Tried to revert to the old kernel in the iBook several times, seemingly failed to boot the old one . . . shut it down. I went to the PM running 16.04 U-MATE and tried the same dist-upgrade via console there, that upgrade was much larger than the Lu system, but subsequently FF also then failed to launch w/o crashing . . . installed Midori to make an apple user post, but when I tried to start a new thread there Midori crashed as well. I ran "apt-get -f install" in both the iBook & the PM . . . nothing showed up. No "comment" in the terminal during the upgrade asking any questions or reporting "problems" . . . but FF is kaput!!!! I'm back in OSX 10.5 side until things cool down for the browsers in 16.04 PPC Lu & U-MATE/XFCE. e...
