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. There is also a vibrant support community available at http://askubuntu.com and you might consider asking your question there.

Firefox 4.0 RC1 for Maverick is available here: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-next, you just run firefox-4.0 to launch or use the menu item.

Oh sorry you can close it I wanted it to post to the firefox support via Help -> Report Problem... in Firefox.
But that got me here.
