The Debian Mozilla Wizard made me accidentally upgrade my system to Sid

Hi!
Here is some important feedback regarding the Mozilla Wizard found here:
http://mozilla.debian.net/
I just spent the evening downgrading my system back to Testing after
accidentally upgrading to Sid. Basically the Mozilla wizard recommend
users of Testing to add sources for Sid in order to install the Firefox
release package. (I just wanted the regular Firefox version, not the ESR
which is in Testing.)
Granted, this is my own fault, I should have paid better attention to to
what sources I actually was adding. I’ve previously used the wizard to
install Firefox on Stable, so I just assumed that it would work in a
similar way on Testing. I eventually discovered that something was wrong
when a dist-upgrade pulled packages from Unstable…
So basically there should be some kind of disclaimer in the Wizard, that
people will upgrade their Testing system to Sid if they don’t take
appropriate precautions to prevent this.
A disclaimer would have saved me a few headaches!
Kind regards,
- Wilfred
