How do i update my firefox.

Hi I have installed ubuntu 10.4 using virtual box(a tool similar to vmware).
The problem is i m very familiar to firefox's window counterpart as the update is very simple.
I have also observed that the preference part of firefox is under edit tab which is not in case of window's (Its under tools).
How would i upgrade my firefox?

Firefox version on ubuntu.:3.6.8
Firefox version on windows:3.6.3

If it is not possible from firefox itself, try the package management of Ubuntu. I guess since it is Debian based, there are tools like:

X:

  • synaptic

Command line:

  • aptitude
  • apt-get
  • dselect

Just found a link to synaptic on Ubuntu:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto

Where do i define the update proxy as whenever i run system->Administration->update manager all update get failed.
My firefox is able to connect to internet.
also like to tell that my ubuntu is hosted on virtual box on bridge network.

I would also like to know highly active ubuntu forum.

Did you try any of the package manager front ends? Why not try to official Ubuntu forum Ubuntu Forums ? (1st hit on Google)

if u update then upgrade your ubuntu linux, i think it will upgrade firefoxxx...

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

U use proxy to connect internet?

That makes sensible option here.

Bumping age old thread of mine. I hardly remember working on that disto.
