Installing Firefox 3.5 in Ubuntu (not from Repository)

October9

Ubuntu Firefox 3.5

I’m using Ubuntu 9.04, but sometimes I didn’t like its apt-get. In Firefox too, I didn’t like install the 3.5 version from Ubuntu Repository, because it’s renamed from Firefox to Shiretoko web browser and it has daily update.

If you wanna using firefox from it’s origin, latest stable without daily update, follow this step :

  1. Download Firefox for linux here
  2. Open terminal and extract it to /opt : 
    sudo tar -xvf firefox-3.5.3.tar.bz2 -C /opt
  3. Make a link in /usr/local/bin :
    sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox
  4. Add an item in the menu :
    Firefox 3.5 Install

    • Open System -> Preferences -> Main Menu
    • Click Internet in the left panel
    • Click New Item button
    • Type Firefox in the Name field, firefox in the Command field, and Firefox Web Browser in the Comment field

That’s all. Now you can enjoy your fresh firefox 3.5!
