After a fresh install of Ubuntu I noticed that I was not automatically offered to upgrade to the latest version of the Mozilla Firefox web browser.



In order to get always the latest Firefox version I decided to use the Ubuntuzilla packages:

  1. Open a command line terminal (Appplications > Accessories > Terminal)
  2. Execute following commands one after the other:
    1. echo -e "\ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null

    2. sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29

    3. sudo apt-get update

    4. sudo apt-get install firefox-mozilla-build
