Firefox Not Upgrading?

[RJ]

Binary package hint: firefox

For some reason, firefox 2.0.0.8 won't automatically update to 2.0.0.9. Also, when I installed firefox 3 alpha-8 from the repositories, when I launched firefox the next time it only ran 2.0.0.8. Maybe I'm doing something wrong (thats probably it).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The current version of firefox in Ubuntu Gutsy repositories is 2.0.0.8. So there isn't still a update for firefox 2.0.0.9. When that version is included in Ubuntu's repositories you will be notified by the update notifier. As for firefox 3.0 alpha-8 try to run it on the command line and see what happens. Thanks!

maybe some more explanation. the built-in update function of firefox is disabled because ubuntu's update manager does the updates.

if you want to run firefox 3 from command line make to add "./" in front of "firefox". otherwise you start the system wide installation of firefox which is in your case firefox 2.0.0.8.
