Mike,
I am running Kubuntu on my daily driver. On the task bar there is an
icon for updates. When I click it I can update all packages that have
an update.
IIRC FireFox is a snap package on my machine. When I first switched
back to Linux on my daily driver I was at a loss at how to update
FireFox.
The I learned how to utilize the update utility.... now life is good!!

what I mean by easier is if I have to reinstall the OS/get a new
computer it is easier to write it into a text file, save it in gmail
as a draft, and then open up that draft if I need it. I have a LOT of
drafts like this. Commands, paragraphs that I have to repeat, stuff
like that. You might think I'm an idiot but let my idiocy inspire you!

as for doing this graphically I think it is easier to copy-n-paste
into a terminal:
sudo apt-mark hold package1 package2 package3

Look at what I just discovered: The apt-mark hold <package>
command is used to prevent a specific package from being upgraded
on Debian-based systems.
I hated waiting for firefox to update! (I don't use ff) Could we
start a list of other big packages that don't need to be
updated?--
