Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

There are many ways to install firefox 6 and almost no way to install firefox 5.

13 ways to test firefox 6:
(not in ubuntu software central, default synaptic search nor updated synaptic search - I don't mind, just saying)
1. ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next
2. ppa:mozillateam/ppa
3. ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
4. ppa:silverwave/one-daily-a-month-2
5. ppa:silverwave/one-daily-a-month-3
6. ppa:silverwave/one-daily-a-month-1
7. ppa:silverwave/one-daily-a-month-5
8. ppa:silverwave/testing1
9. ppa:silverwave/testing0
10. ppa:silverwave/testing2
11. downloading, then double-clicking deb
12. using foxtester add-on
13. manual installation

2 ways to test firefox 5:
(not in ubuntu software central, default synaptic search nor updated synaptic search - I don't mind, just saying)
(TEN ppas for firefox 6, ZERO ppa for firefox 5 - I mind...)
(I googled for "firefox 5" deb, but the best result was in a weird language with no replies - I mind...)
1. using foxtester add-on
2. manual installation
(the two remaining installations available don't have the global menu integration add-on, so when I mouse over close, minimize or maximize, the window title <blink>s - I mind...)

Very good point. Beats me too, why no testing ppa for firefox 5?

Sorry, I spend enough of my time maintaining the daily builds from mozilla-central, and we will support the beta channel too. There's no compelling reason to provide aurora PPA builds at the moment, as hardly anything has changed in Firefox 5.

Changed in firefox (Ubuntu):
