Hi everyone.

I am new to the forum as well as linux! This is my first thread.

I have ubuntu 8.10, and i wish to upgrade FF with the latest 3.5 one.


I used the following code in the terminal:


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install firefox


and the problem that i got:

alih@alih-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install firefox
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
firefox is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.


After I started FF, it said 3.0.11 again, with no change!

Did I miss something? :confused:

Anyone helps me please.

You need to uninstall the FIrefox you have


sudo apt-get remove firefox

then install firefox-3.5


sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5

You need to uninstall the FIrefox you have
Code:
sudo apt-get remove firefox
then install firefox-3.5
Code:
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
That is not the recommended way to upgrade to Firefox 3.5. The correct way is to download Firefox 3.5 is via a PPA.
