my firefox not update for version 3.5

Asked by rosolen

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

My ubuntu 9.04 doesn't update the new firefox version that I installed by Terminal.
Still shows as 3.0.11 (pt-br), and the option to 'check for new firefox version' is disabled.
What i can do ? Thanks.

The name for the new binary is firefox-3.5. Depending how you
installed it, there may not be an icon in the menu (without some
changes)

To get stable release of Firefox-3.5 you must add a repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list
 this repository https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa

In short please open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type or copy and paste, one row a time then press enter:

echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa/ubuntu' $(lsb_release -cs)' main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa/ubuntu' $(lsb_release -cs)' main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter

Then add this repository gpg key copy and paste this row into terminal and then press enter:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A6DCF7707EBC211F

Then update your system type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5

Hope this helps
