Now, for most users, getting Firefox is as easy as going to http://getfirefox.com and clicking the big green download button. Or by clicking on Help -> Check for Updates at the very top right of your Firefox window. Unfortunately, for Linux-based operating systems, Mozilla only provides a tarball package of their new release. This works perfectly fine once extracted somewhere on your computer and running the “firefox” binary. But it isn’t a very clean or trackable install. Fortunately, there is a Mozilla Team at Ubuntu for all of it’s users who have taken the time to package up Firefox 4.0 into a PPA you can add to your Software Center which will allow you to upgrade to the latest version just like any other normal update. I have found easy instructions from a recent post on the Ubuntu Planet here. Thank you Adnan Quaium.
1. Go to Applications > Ubuntu Software Center from the top panel.
2. Head to Edit > Software Sources and click the ‘Other Software’ tab.
3. Press ‘Add’ button and then paste the following line into the relevant field to add thePPA.
ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
4. After adding the PPA you will be prompted to update your sources.
5. Once the update is done you can head to System > Administration > Update Manager to perform an upgrade.
6. Thus FF4 will be installed in the system.
