Thread: packages held back and FF not working


last night had problem firefox starting load pages , crash before cold anything. want post on over mozilla forum, 1 of first steps want me take, reasonably enough, update firefox (their method of doing in section of 10 doesn't work, i'll worry later). next step of updates linux. switched pae last week when hit 4 gb of ram, kernel 2.6.35-31-generic-pae on 10.10 , gnome 2.32.0...

i'm trying update , whole list of packages held , hadn't worried until when firefox broke, lost of addons , won't work, plus list keeps getting steadily longer.

code:
