Well thanks I just needed to upgrade to new version of firefox.
Your link give useful information.
Here is a script I got to fix missing gpg key errors


for i in `sudo aptitude update 2>&1 | grep NO_PUBKEY | awk '{print $NF;}'`; do sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys $i; done

Thanks for your link but I do not have the patience to suffer all that ls,cp,rm non sense.
I would better be off with Chrome.

Then just use FoxTester (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/141505/). See demo (http://foxtester-extension.blogspot.com/).
