ii firefox 57.0+build4- amd64
Because of the horrible API change that destroyed over 10000 AddOns i decided to revert to the firefox 56 package.
firefox_
firefox-
I removed the 57 packages by synaptic, installed both 56 .deb with sudo dpkg. After that the config must be renamed because of incompatibility. Than i had set the 56 packages at hold with synaptic.
Shortly after reboot the 57 packages are back on the system, there was no update manager running. The chronic in synaptic shows the revert from last day and both packages at 57 including the lock that was set at the 56 version.
Regression: If we have a packet management in ubuntu, all packages should be using that. All up- and downgrades should be visible in the chronic, but the secret upgrade is missing there.

Happens on ubuntumate 17.10 and ubuntustudio 17.10 the same way.
Why did this update without questioning the user? Do firefox itself trigger the unattended update?
