I noticed that FireFox 3.5 has been released but Ubuntu doesn't upgrade to it. Am I doing something wrong?
I'm doing this in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update
then
sudo apt-get upgrade
But it doesn't affect FireFox.

Open your Terminal and run following command
echo ‘deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main’ >> /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the Launchpad PPA GPG key
sudo apt-key adv –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-keys 247510BE
Now run below command on your terminal
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5

You are not doing anything wrong. Ubuntu does not usually upgrade packages to major versions after an Ubuntu release. This is mainly for stability reasons. There are many threads on this forum that can help you install firefox 3.5 on your existing Ubuntu installation.
