Update manager updates a firefox on hold while in use, crashed it and
enforce a newer but incompatible version.

Title:
  "apt-mark hold" ignored by Update Manager

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  Update manager keeps telling me there's software to upgrade, but there is only a package on the do-not-upgrade list:

  When I try upgrading from the command line, I see:

  
  Calculating upgrade... Done
  The following packages have been kept back:
    offlineimap
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

  
  Since I clearly don't want this upgraded, I should not be told that there are packages awaiting upgrade by GUIs pop-ups or in the GUI control window.
