After having the horrid Firefox for Android 79.0 thrust upon my Samsung tablet by Google Play I immediately changed my settings on Google Play to disable automatic updates before going through the annoying hassle and misery of rolling it back to the 68.11.0 version.

CAVEAT: Disabling Google Play automatic updates from one device DOES NOT disable automatic updates for all devices.

I found this out after several days later when my Samsung phone was subsequently raped with an update to 79.0. You have to disable automatic updates from each device to protect them from being trashed with the latest "improvement" garbage from Mozilla.

I did not expect this behavior from Google Play so I thought I would pass this information along for those who do not care to have their carefully set up equipment be involuntarily turned into Mozilla a lab rat.
