Cannot upgrade to Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu

No es la misma cosa, Firefox 3.5 es la versión estable que te puede ofrecer actualmente el proyecto Mozilla, solo que para la versión de Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope no se tiene previsto realizar una actualización a la versión del navegador solo con el propósito de pulir mejor la versión 3.0, esta implementación se aplicará en el Karmic Koala.

La versión 3.6 es la que acaba de entrar en el nivel de desarrollo y te comento los plugins que se tiene actualmente que son 100% funcional en la versión del Firefox 3.0 se está haciendo un trabajo arduamente con su migración.

It is not the same thing, Firefox 3.5 is the stable version you can now offer the Mozilla project, only for the version of Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope is not planning to upgrade to the version of the browser only for the purpose of polishing the best Version 3.0, this implementation will be implemented in the karmic Koala.

Version 3.6 is just entering the stage of development, said the plugins that you currently have that are 100% functional in the version of Firefox 3.0 is being worked hard with their migration.

I apologize for my translation in English.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs. For help on reporting bugs, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#When%20not%20to%20file%20a%20bug.

You'll want to uninstall those packages (unless you want daily builds) and install firefox-3.5 from jaunty-updates. It will be labeled as Shiretoko Web Browser and is version 3.5.1 at the moment. This is the latest Firefox 3.5 stable release. Firefox 3.6 is a development release in the Mozilla Daily Build ppa. This should only be used by people testing the latest version of the browser as it may break from time to time.

Thanks for the advice... these look like good suggestions!

Sorry for putting this in the wrong category.

You can get the "ordinary" Firefox 3.5.1 (NOT labeled Shiretoko) by using the script called Ubuntuzilla from
here: http://ubuntuzilla.wiki.sourceforge.net/

Page down to "Installation". I have a 32 bit machine so the operations are - download the .deb, right click it and install, then run the command (in a Terminal):ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox
and answer the questions...

Thanks @arochester. Is there an advantage to using the ordinary version? Are there significant differences?

That may be true, but then you'll be on your own for support for the
packages. Firefox 3.5's name will be changed for Karmic.

"Is there an advantage to using the ordinary version?"

I find a significant difference in the search box (upper right). In Firefox it normally says "Google" and there are several search engines installed. I highlight text , right click and choose "Search Google for..." or use another search engine if it is in the box.

Shiretoko has few search engines installed, for example NOT Google.

At the moment, you have to install Firefox 3.0 alongside Firefox 3.5 to get the search engines.
