Ways prevent Browser Extension Update?

Installation Issues
1

We are seriously concerned over the auto-push browser extension update.

Is there any POSSIBLE way to disable, stop, block, remove, or rollback the PASSBOLT extension updates?

This issue has sent TERRIFYING SHOCKWAVES through our teams and management who all now suddenly realize no matter how earnestly and diligently we backup, archive and gingerly update our PASSBOLT servers…

A SINGLE PASSBOLT EXTENSION LOSS, UPDATE, MAJOR UPDATE OR EVEN MINOR CHANGE WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY PUSHED OUT TO ALL BROWSERS WITH ZERO END-USER CONTROL AND NO OPTIONS FOR ROLLBACK!

This has the potential to completely lock everyone out of access to our entire password databases!

In the current Extension 3.0.0 update case we were only locked out of user management - unable to add, edit, remove users for about 5 days. Next time it could be SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE!

This major issue has quickly escalated to a DEAL BREAKER for us to continue using PASSBOLT. We are now looking into any way to BLOCK browser extension updates at the firewall/signature level. If we cannot solve this and prevent PASSBOLT from auto-updated the browser extension…
this may the be END of PASSBOLT for us.

In Firefox you can disable updates per extension.

I had to downgrade to. You can do this by going to https://addons.mozilla.org search for the passbolt extension. Go te version history. Remove the currect version and install the version you want. Then go immidiatly to add ons in firefox menu and disable the updates.

I had to recover my account before it would load.
