First you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list file
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the one of the following lines
For Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) Users
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
For Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) Users
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
For Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) Users
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
Save and exit the file
Now you need to add PPA GPG key
sudo apt-key adv
--keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com--recv-keys 247510BE
Update the source list
sudo apt-get update
Install Firefox 3.5
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
Install Firefox 3.6
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.6
If you already have a version of Firefox 3.5 installed from a repo then upgrade using the following command
sudo apt-get upgrade
Unresolvable dependencies under Jaunty:
firefox-3.5:
Depends: xulrunner-1.9.1 but it is not going to be installed
xulrunner-1.9.1:
Depends: libnss3-1d (>=3.12.3) but 3.12.2~rc1-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
I prefer to use Epihany instead of default Firefox version on Jaunty. It eats much less CPU. Renders font sizes correctly as set in preferences. Groups newly opened tabs with “Tab Groups” extension activated.
this will install shiretoko or firefox?
