Hi,
Where can i find the PPA for the latest stable versions of Thunderbird and Firefox? I'm running Ubuntu10.04.3 32-bit.
Is it correct that the latest version is version 7 for both programs?
Many thanks!

I've asked my very dear friend Google and he replied with this: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/thunderbird-stable (https://launchpad.net/%7Emozillateam/+archive/thunderbird-stable) for the official PPA for Thunderbird. So what wrong with this PPA??

The creator of the PPA had used the stop publishing option for some reason , but the option was removed and the PPA was updated 9 minutes ago .

But i can use the PPA of Launchpad also for both programs? There's no difference between the "official" PPA and the PPA of ricotz?

For Firefox see the Firefox 7 & Beyond Mega Thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1058851).
The Mozilla team also have a PPA for Thunderbird.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable
