The commands for updating a version of
Firefox you installed from the repository(!) are:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
It's maintained, so no need to worry about anything basic. Installing
Firefox from the repo would mean to additionally do:
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install firefox
The problem is, since you seem to have installed an instance of
Firefox by hand (why? - well, it's up to you), there most probably will be a conflict; I have no idea if installation from the repos will simply replace the binary (the program) or everything. So though I think you should be using the repo version (
8.10 offers the latest
Firefox - I'm using
3.0.10 on
8.04 directly from the repo right now!), I can't recommmend this if you're not willing to import your stuff and settings if need be...
