Hello !

The easiest way is to go in Synaptic (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager), click on "Update" (or something similar : I'm not on my Ubuntu box right now), then "Mark all upgrades" and finaly "apply". This way, all your softwares will be upgraded to the latest version.

Please note that it is possible that Ubuntu has a little delay between a new version of Firefox is released and the time it is available thru Synaptic : Version is customized (at least the installation procedure is added) before release.

Regards,
Benoît

Yup... Benoit Malet was right. There always be a delay between a new version of Firefox and ubuntu version. But if you want the new ones, perhaps you would install Ubuntuzilla.

Have a nice try.

Can you help with this problem?
