I know I've posted about this before, somewhere, but I couldn't find it off hand so I'm posting this as a tip or tutorial for easy reference.
For Linux Users, especially Ubuntu users (I don't know about other Linux distros. though), when you install the OS, you will most likely have an old version of Firefox.
And, when you go to: Help -> Check For Updates isn't lit up to check for updates.
Well, if you want to install the newer version of Firefox, download this script:
http://firefox.myoklahomalife.net/downlo...view&did=7 (located in the downloads center)
Save it to your desktop, or wherever, and open the terminal.
Cd to Desktop
"cd desktop"
And then run it:
$ ./installnewfirefox.sh
(Notice: You must have an internet connection for this to work, otherwise, it won't load.)
Finish the setup, and your default Firefox will be upgraded, keeping all your bookmarks, extensions, scripts, ect.
Any Questions, or comments, please leave a reply.
