How to Install Firefox 8 in Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10

there isn't a firefox 8 yet, still 7.0.1

Yes it is -> http://news.softpedia.com/news/Download-Official-Firefox-8-and-Thunderbird-8-for-Linux-233227.shtml

I'm not able to get firefox 8 with help of this tutorial. Only 7.0.1, so the first guy was correct

The packages for Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 amd64 and i386 are still pending. They are not ready yet. See https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable/+packages

Still 7.0.1!
8.0 is available only generic version from Mozilla.org
May be just have to wait day or two :)

Yeah, it looks like there's a problem with publishing the packages. However, here they are:

For Ubuntu 10.10

Thanks for the information it's perfectly working :D

For all of the GUI-Only Linux Users, this is a very nice tutorial to install Firefox. Simply scroll, read, copy, and paste. REMEMBER to check the "Run in terminal" boxes when directed. Flawless install... Thank you!

Nice tutorial :) working just fine. Added to favs

perfecto. Thank you!

This is why linux will never take over microsoft. This is WAY too hard.

thanks softpedia

just now i have seen linex and got me download fire fox 8 finel for linux,please help me to download firfox8 final for linux, thanks you & good wishes.

Brilliant!

Well written page. Using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32-bit, I was able to move quickly through all the steps without stumbles. My only reservation about this page, is that when the last step completed the terminal window closed - so, I wasn't able to read the contents to discover if I actually got all the recommended programs.

Totorial has wrong repository for 11.10.
You need to use command sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa

That's because it's not intended for Ubuntu 11.10. As the title says, the tutorial can be used on Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Ubuntu 11.10 has Firefox 8 from the official mirrors, no guide needed :)

To install Firefox 9 in Ubuntu 11.10 use this tutorial:

awesome!!!! thanks!!! :) :)

thanks, it running well.

Almost as easy as in windoze. Linux has come a long way. However, I think it would be easier just to open the terminal window and run the commands in there, rather than pressing ALT-F2 all the time.

Thanks for this article, worked for me great....stuck ver 3.6 for a long time in Ubuntu 10.04. Again Thanks a Ton to the author of this article.

Thanks a lot :o) greatest and most helpful site on the web today ...love it

excellent , it is working fine- joice mumbai

The article is very helpful in updating Firefox. Thank u
Biju

Thanks a lot.....one of the best tutorials for newbie's to ubuntu..

The tutorial is so accurate and quick. I could get my firefox upgraded from 3.6 to 8.0 very easily. Good one for a newbie. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the instructions, but I think it would have been easier to just open a terminal session once and do the instructions sequentially..

Oh Man I have stuck with mozila fire fox installer that is showing in menu not the mozila browser

Initial instructions worked great for me.

Thx you! )

Ilike your site.awesome.I need more softwear support from your site about my ubuntu10.04lts please.thank you.SOMETHING 2 TELL YOU.Iget firefox 9.0.1!!but it's good .

Good stuff! Thanks

tnx u!

Thanks so much Synaptic package manager did not work for me. Accidentally came here. Cookies on the bottom shelf! I'm not a geek, but I can paste sudu strings where you tell me! Thanks muchly.

When I try the first step `gksu add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable', I get the error

Error: can't find signing_key_fingerprint at https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable

A very useful tutorial! I used it verbatim today (2012 April 28), and it worked perfectly. Only the fisrt two (2) steps were necessary to get the old (3.6?) version of Firefox updated to version 12. Thank you!

thanks

it is not working

Smooth install... thanks for this.

i have followed all above step but still facing problem
