Install genuine Firefox 3.5 (latest) on Ubuntu

Google Buzz

A new Firefox was launched but still its not coming for Ubuntu! Well to solve this problem people have brought up many solutions…one is installing a different version of Firefox in a different name, actually it didn’t help me because my head always kept telling that this is not the original! so i kept searching the net until i fount Ubuntuzilla!

Ubuntuzilla is a small python script which downloads the latest Firefox build from their official web site and then install it on your system, it also enables you to receive updates through normal Ubuntu updates. Not only Firefox it can also install Thunderbird and Seamonkey. Now lets see how to use this:-

  1. Download Ubuntuzilla deb package from here
  2. Install it by double clicking on it
  3. Run “ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox” on terminal
  4. To install Thunderbird and Seamonkey :- “ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p thunderbird” and “ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p seamonkey

Think everyone got it correctly…so enjoy your new Firefox!

Correction (thanx to nanotube): “Do not run ubuntuzilla with sudo. That will mess up the ownership of some of the files in your home directory (e.g., the stuff in ~/.gnupg).”
