Firefox doesn't work with apt. Now what do I do?

Thanks for the donation! The easiest installation method is to search
for "rednotebook" in the software center.

That''s how I got it, only to find it ancient history, so when it asked
me if I wanted to go your website, I did, found the download, navigated
PayPal, and then found out I can't get the download with Firefox. I
think Firefox users should be alerted.

Are you saying I can't get there from here?

You're welcome to the donation. I can only imagine how much coding time
it takes to get something like this out. I'm glad you made Red Notebook
and made it work. It does work.

That's right. The software center contains an outdated version. To get
the latest version follow the instructions at
https://launchpad.net/~rednotebook/+archive/stable to add the
RedNotebook stable PPA to your system.

Installation instructions for the terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rednotebook/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rednotebook

I'm working from elementary OS, really recent, probably current.

The first line of "sudo add-apt-repository" didn't work. Terminal didn't
find the command "repository," even after I cut and pasted that line in.

I really should start using the CLI. I need that much control - if I
know what I'm doing, anyway. I'm leery of how much I can screw up with
one "enter." But the worst thing would be I'd have to re-install the OS
then restore my backed-up data, right? I've got FSF's book on the CLI
and another book, "The Linux Command Line," by William E, Shotts, Jr.
that I've worked a couple of chapters into, I think. Is there a better
way to learn the CLI? Someone sent me a coding book, and I'm interested
in learning to use Python to build apps.

Is there something wrong with the code, or something wrong with
elementary OS's version of Terminal? Is there a reason you don't update
the version on the software center? The app is the best journaling tool
on the software center by far. The version off the software center
works fine, but it sounds to me like the new version is better.

Thanks for helping me.

That worked. Thank you for taking the time to help me.
