That's a pretty terrible idea. Your web browser is probably the most important piece of software to keep up to date, besides the OS for security reasons.

For me, I have no alternative but to pin Firefox.

No browser on Linux can handle different DPI per screen. For Firefox, there's an addon implementing that today, but it won't work with WebExtensions.

So I have to use today's Firefox - or I can't use any browser.

Well, there's also the third option of using a magnifying glass to read websites.

Agreed. I need time to consider alternatives.
