Comments on Installing Firefox 4.0 (.deb Package) On Ubuntu 10.10

Installing Firefox 4.0 (.deb Package) On Ubuntu 10.10 In this short guide I will show you how you can install the new Mozilla Firefox 4.0 browser (released March 22, 2011) on an Ubuntu 10.10 desktop. Fortunately, there's a Launchpad PPA repository that has Firefox 4.0 .deb packages, so we can easily install it through Ubuntu's package manager.

This is the wrong PPA to use - it doesn't use stable, it's the **daily** build (it will 'update' Thunderbird, too).  Either pull this article, or edit it to direct people to the proper ppa.  You aren't helping.

ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable

is probably what you should be using.

Well AC, good job with the "being a jerk" thing.. This guy wrote an article trying to help people, instead of saying pull the entire article, why don't you just mention that the apt-url is wrong and should be x. instead of saying "Either pull this article, or edit it to direct people to the proper ppa.  You aren't helping."

 

Not to be an a**hole or anything, Maybe you were just having a crappy day, but I just hate it when people are writing articles to help and someone comes in and rips on it. It's just rude.
