While it is certainly better to find out why FF11 doesn't work and to 
fix that issue, you can prevent the upgrade to a newer package version 
as it is explained here:
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto#Introduction_to_Holding_Packages>
There is only a description for synaptic or the commandline, but after 
you have marked the package as hold, it should work with kpakagekit as 
well.
