Is it possible to switch from `extra-testing` to `extra`?

Is it possible to switch over?

$ pacman -Ss | grep extra-testing | grep installed
extra-testing/dav1d 1.5.0-1 [installed]
extra-testing/firefox 133.0-1 [installed: 132.0.2-1]
extra-testing/mesa 1:24.3.0-1 [installed]

Interestingly enough, I uninstalled firefox, reinstalled it via sudo pacman -S extra/firefox, but it still shows up under extra-testing as can be seen above.

Disable (via the # sign) the repo in your /etc/pacman.conf:

#[extra-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Then perform:

sudo pacman -Syuu
