Dago68 ported a different version of Firefox, that should fix old problem with Mandriva 2010
at least we hope so, in his test this Firefox never crashed, and were present also all MIB BP
This uses a different kind of packaging where languages are inside the main firefox program
the freeze with FireFox happened only for the 64bit arch, so no 2010 32bit port should be necessary

then you can block the update properly editing file
/etc/urpmi/skip.list
if you need a more recent firefox version, you have two chances:
a> to try a generic linux Firefox binary, creating a link in the desktop
otherwise
b> you can install a more recent distro, like ROSA Marathon o Fresh
