How to install Firefox 3 RC1 on Ubuntu Hardy.

Mayo 20th, 2008

You just need to add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu hardy main

Then you only need to update (with apt-get update) and then upgrade (with apt-get dist-upgrade) or to install the firefox-3.0 package if you haven’t do it before.


Digg!

    SomeGuy: Just remove that line in the /etc/apt/source.list and update: sudo apt-get update.

    Then upgrade (if there is an updated package in the official repository sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) or uninstall and install:

    sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0
    sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0

    I’m unable to save the file once I modified the list.

    Eddie: try with sudo:

    sudo gedit /etc/apt/source.list

    (You need admin rights).

    Errmm – that opens up the text editor with a blank file. I have admin rights though. Thanks for you help though

    Anyone else having problems with missing buttons (back, forward, home, button to close tabs, etc.)?

    Peter, right click on the menubar, choose “Customize” and drag&drop buttons from toolbars to that list and vice versa. ;)
