Thanks for sharing this tutorial. I agree that FF3.0 is slow on Ubuntu. FF3.5 works much better, only flaw that I found is that firebug is not supported yet. So, I will have to keep FF3.0 too, for now.
Milan, alpha version of Firebug 1.4 works for Firefox 3.5.
Thanks Denis, you were right. Although the official addons site did not allow me to download compatible version, I found the working version here: http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.4/
This is simple and fantastic.
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Is there any way to disable the sounds when there is a firefox pop-up window? It gets on my nerves.
$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EF4186FE247510BE
$ gpg --export --armor EF4186FE247510BE >key.asc

Hey it breaks 3.0 and 3.5 is broken too here on Hardy amd64. Had to remove the repo :(
I wrote this howto on Jaunty and firefox 3.0 and 3.5 were working perfect together. However i have no idea about Hardy. Thanks for the clarification muranyia!
When I added the repository and did 'sudo apt-get update', it gave an error at the bottom of the output:
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY EF4186FE247510BE
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
I'm using Ubuntu Studio 9.04 Jaunty. Anyone else had a similar problem?
wait nevermind, Antazy already posted the solution:
$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EF4186FE247510BE
$ gpg --export --armor EF4186FE247510BE >key.asc
$ cat key.asc | sudo apt-key add -
Do I have an option if I want to be updated with stable release from Mozilla, like right now they are offering 3.6 but Ubuntu repositories aren't?
Is karmic-backports or proposed repo my option?
I used ubuntu-mozilla-daily build repo and it renamed Firefox and Thunderbird to sth like Shiretoko, changed icons which I didn't like. It also de-linked firefox from other programs as default URL opener.
So, I want the latest stable Mozilla releases (and other packages also) in my Ubuntu OS through a repository but not daily builds.
