Cannot upgrade to Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu

[nooozeguy]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 (or at least 3.5) on an Acer 9410Z (3-year-old) laptop.

I have tried doing this through the Synaptic Package Manager, selecting, alternately, Firefox 3.5 elements or Firefox 3 and 3.5 elements. Neither method has worked.

http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/06/firefox-35-rc-1-ubuntu-repository-deb.html provides an alternate method, which I tried as well.

I now have a Minefield 3.5 and 3.6 browser... is that the same thing?

I am using Kernel 2.6.28-14-generic and GNOME 2.26.1

Thank you,
-Josh

No es la misma cosa, Firefox 3.5 es la versión estable que te puede ofrecer actualmente el proyecto Mozilla, solo que para la versión de Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope no se tiene previsto realizar una actualización a la versión del navegador solo con el propósito de pulir mejor la versión 3.0, esta implementación se aplicará en el Karmic Koala.

La versión 3.6 es la que acaba de entrar en el nivel de desarrollo y te comento los plugins que se tiene actualmente que son 100% funcional en la versión del Firefox 3.0 se está haciendo un trabajo arduamente con su migración.

It is not the same thing, Firefox 3.5 is the stable version you can now offer the Mozilla project, only for the version of Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope is not planning to upgrade to the version of the browser only for the purpose of polishing the best Version 3.0, this implementation will be implemented in the karmic Koala.

Version 3.6 is just entering the stage of development, said the plugins that you currently have that are 100% functional in the version of Firefox 3.0 is being worked hard with their migration.

I apologize for my translation in English.
