Distro: Linux Mint Cinnamon
I use a different Browser and hence uninstalled firefox. But it still receives updates through the system, same with thunderbird. My upgrade manager flags them as security updates sometimes, so I install them. But are they actually necessary? Can I make my system filter them out when updating, or is that a bad idea?
Solution:
run dpkg -l "*firef*" to find there were still firefox packages installed. Removed them. Hopefully did the trick.
First make sure it’s really not installed:
# in your terminal dpkg -l "*firef*"Yep… the *-locale-en still was around for firefox and thunderbird. Thanks :)
Start here OP.
You may have not uninstalled them.
Did you uninstall through terminal or through the GUI? If through the GUI try using the command line.
How did you uninstall firefox?
What different browser have you installed? How?
