Nice guide. Setting restoration didn't work, but I don't use bookmarks beyond the toolbar anyhow, so I don't care. Was pretty straightforward, and it allowed me to keep 1.0.7 as firefox.ubuntu
The reason that I posted this here is because, due to Ubuntu's APT system (same with debian), it's a real pain to install newer versions of software shipped with the OS.
Why not download the installer from www.mozilla.com and install it yourself?
Fuck the APT system for some software...
I use Mozilla's FTP. ftp to ftp.mozilla.org, follow the obvious folders, download firefox-version.tar.gz, extract it, move it to /usr/local/lib, and point your shortcut there. It's not very hard..
Too easy. Mine requires clicking ala Windows installers. Joe's way just sucks.
That's exactly what I did, went to mozilla.org and got the installer. I just had to cheat the system to allow me to do it.
You suck and so does your distro.
(That's loosely quoted from a mailing list: you suck and so does your filesystem)
#pkginstall ?? It worked for me. :p

Ubuntu is dyslexic.
Pretty much.

Ubuntu isn't dyslexic, but deadly clearly is. <3.
