Although you've already found a solution, for anybody else having this problem, there is an arguably easier way to upgrade Firefox on Ubuntu short of using the 'Shiretoko' branded version.
Just download the 'Ubuntuzilla.py' script ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntuzilla/files/ ) and then at the command line run 'ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox' and follow any prompts.
"OK then operator, my friend was telling me about this electronic goats thingy-mah-whatsit, I believe he called them EGoats.. or.. Goats-E. Yeah that's it, could you describe to me what one of these Goats-e's look like please?"
It does seem to be working well, even though it crashed it still managed to recognise that you were half way through doing something and posted the reply for you !
I'm presuming it does this for other data, that, for example, you're trying to save when you have a sudden power outage.
Google starter -which would be exactly the same as all of the others except with most of the features locked down and the restriction that you can only do one thing at once.
So you could ring somebody else up and talk to them, but you wouldn't be able to hear anything back unless you hung up and let them call you back.
This edition would be marketed at 'third-world' countries as it is intended to be cheaper but instead serves as nothing but a pointless annoyance and inconvenience.
After lurking for a tad over a year and never posting I've now decided to make my first by putting my neck on the line for the April fools day achievement system.
Is it a prank? probably. Am i going to fall for it? yes.
Can I have my achievement now?
