    Firefox 3.6.4

    Will Firefox 3.6.4 come as an update to Ubuntu? Or are there any ppa's that have that version. This version have 'Crash Protection', so it is not just a minor security update.

    There is another thread with the solution here
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...+update&page=2

    basically, the solution is to add
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozi...ity/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozi...ity/ppa/ubuntu lucid main


    and then synaptic show the upgrade

    It will come to all supported Ubuntu versions. When? I don't know.

    If you want it now, see the Installing Other Versions section of Firefox optimization and troubleshooting thread.

    This is build 7, which should be VERY similar to the final version.

    I tested this, and after installation, firefox did not even start. Does anyone recognize this?

    Try the ubuntuzilla repository - .deb packs of the official mozilla releases:
    http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net/
    (32bit only)

    Or maybe not.

    I assume the Thunderbird update will be pushed out at the same time.

    Don't get 3.6.4 it has been superseded by 3.6.6 which has a fair few bug fixes.

    you're using the old instructions.
    ubuntuzilla is now just a normal repository, containing mozilla builds.
    see http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net/ for latest instructions...
    the script way still works... but repo is cleaner and better.

    <rant>stupid blogs and their useless copying of the old ubuntuzilla script instructions</rant>
