FWIW, I kept checking for updates, but Firefox 5 did not appear.
I switched to the main repositories and suddenly got a slew of updates, including Firefox 5.
I had been using the mit.edu repository.

That's because some mirrors are outdated. See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors

You have ubuntu on your work machine? Or did you just update to FF5 on a Windows machine?
Re: Firefox 4, 5 & Beyond Mega Thread
I upgraded to FF 5 on windows 7 earlier today and it said that the Linux version was supposed to be exactly like the windows version.
But, it's not. It still has the File, Edit, View, etc at the top.
In windows, it just has a Firefox button at the top left where options, history, bookmarks, etc. can all be accessed.
Just wondering if this is how it is supposed to look in Ubuntu.
Thanks! :)

Just Select View, Toolbars from the Menu Bar and deselect Menu Bar.
That will remove the menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc.) at the top.

The second one works with compatibility check disabled.

Tried running the first command in Terminal, and it asked me for a password. It then wouldn't allow me to type anything in for the password.
