Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Will be much appreciated, especially since this has started to happen when trying to get an extension:

You must upgrade to version 1.0.4 or newer of Firefox before accessing the Mozilla Update web service. In order to keep your computer safe when using the Internet, it’s important to install new updates of Firefox as soon as they are available. Click on the Upgrade Now link to get the latest version of Firefox.

Thanks for your efforts! =)

I am curious. Since this is an update(1.0.3 was too) that covers a couple security issues why wouldn't this package be updated in http://security.ubuntu.com/ ?

firefox introduces new features together with bug fixes with each release. Ubuntu in general only introduces new features with a new release since this is more secure. So the Ubuntu developers take the bug fixes from 1.0.4 but not the new features .. that's why the version number doesn't increase to 1.0.4

Firefox 1.0.4 in staging.

Firefox 1.0.4 in staging.

I couldn't resist ...I'm running it now

edit :
but I still can't get to :
https://addons.mozilla.org/?application=firefox
I end up here :
http://www.mozilla.org/products/fire...cation=firefox

when I choose about .. I see 1.0.4 .. somehow this isn't communicated right
