a quicky to get the latest firefox on your ubuntu jaunty system:

as mentioned here, update your apt-repository:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

and don't forget to add the key:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 247510BE

next make update your apt database.

sudo apt-get update

and

sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 firefox-3.5-gnome-support

and you get it.

sounded so much easier than i can imagine. :)

to start:

firefox-3.5

or if you are sure of not wanting firefox 3 anymore, you can remove it and make a symlink to firefox-3.5

have fun.

update: first impression:
it is rather fast. smoother than my swiftfox but not as fast as ephiphany. Ok, i have some plugins turned off, but again, i have enabled acrobat and flash. hmm. so far it works as before. Besides speed i did not notice other major changes. Good for me - at least i don't have to learn new tricks :)
