Synaptic: lock version available
LM software manager; no such option exists
LM Firefox settings (such as 134.0) updates disabled by your organization
(Your browser is being managed by your organization)

Personally I prefer such as synaptic over a software manager for my 
updating, as it provides me more info.  Sometimes the manager is useful, 
'tho'.
