Thanks, Ryan. I had high hopes for dist-upgrade; alas, it didn't seem to work.

Let me know if I did something wrong, or if I'm barking up the wrong tree, but here's what I got:

# show currently installed version (mine showed 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.3 for amd64 and i386)
dpkg -l libgl1-mesa-dri
# add edgers repo
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
# get the new package lists
sudo apt-get update
# install the edgers packages
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
# show currently installed version (my packages now show 10.5.0~git20150127)
dpkg -l libgl1-mesa-dri
# reboot
sudo reboot

# try firefox test case
firefox http://www.google.com/chrome/
