Here is the easiest method ever on the earth.

Just copy the following command and paste it on the terminal of Ubuntu (Press the keyboard: Ctrl+Alt+T, or click Applications > Terminal).
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

using && is good but if command exit status is not 0 which mean an error your method will not upgrade Firefox.
Specially some people are suffering from repository gpg key problem and they didn't fix it

The first command worked fine. But after the update command, i got this :

W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://deb.opera.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A2019EA84E7532C8

W: Failed to fetch http://deb.opera.com/opera/dists/stable/Release

W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Thanks for the help.

its seems that you have problem with your Opera repository.

did you tried the upgrade command cause i think problem in one repository won't stop other repositories from update.
