Firefox 3.5.1 .deb?

[MasterNetra]

I noticed the Firefox in Ubuntu's repo is out of date (3.0). I was wondering if anyone knows where I can snag the 3.5.1 deb at? Firefox's site just provides the tar.bz2 file which just has the programs file contents slapped into it.

Hi MasterNetra.

Ubuntuzilla has a .deb file.

Have you tried installing firefox-3.5 package?

just to clarify: ubuntuzilla is an /installer/ for firefox (and seamonkey and thunderbird), it is not actually a .deb /of/ firefox.

once you install ubuntuzilla, you run it to automagically install the latest mozilla build of firefox and notify you of any future updates.

Firefox is a self contained folder. All you have to do is download it. Put it in a system wide location, Then link the menu to the firefox file inside the folder.

Discovered while reading the download page. But thinks for the warning anyway. ^.^

The 4 most popular methods of installation of Firefox 3.5 (Psychocats, Ubuntuzilla, Repository, Shiretoko/Swiftfox) are available in the "Install Other Versions" section of the Firefox optimization and troubleshooting thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1193567).

There is also a detailed explanation of each installation method provided, comparing the most important differences. I personally tested all of them and they work like a charm, but I recommend methods 1 (Psychocats) and 2 (Ubuntuzilla).

I ended up doing the Ubuntuzilla method as it was the first recommended and I did it then.
