Please pay attention to how you write down your help requests ;) Regarding your first issue, have your tried running firefox as normal user inside a shell? What messages do you see? Please report them inside code tags. To update firefox to the latest version I guess you should do it via apt, but nothing prevents you from extracting the tarball you downloaded inside a directory of your choice (even under your home folder) and run it from there. |
@ kedar - open a terminal and type in 'firefox' as a normal user. If you get any error messages post them here.

also please add
What version of Ubuntu is this ? and what version of firefox is installed run firefox and under "help" is "about firefox" also any of the NEW versions of FF will auto update ( but NOT the older versions) as to MANUALLY installing a "new" version i would NOT do that unless you HAVE a lot of experience in doing things like that you will NEED to manually change a LOT of files and locations in files ( a LOT of work ) i would RECOMMEND using your Package manager to install the CURRENT version of Firefox for YOUR version of Ubuntu |
