Upgrading Firefox to the latest version available...

Ubuntu comes with Firefox/1.5.0.10.

I want to upgrade this to the latest version because I love the new extensions that only work with the latest version epecially, colourful tabs

So I searched the web to see how this can be done. There were two options.
1. Manual installation. here
2. Using an automated script. here

I used the automated script and it was very easy to do.

I now have the new Firefox version 2.0.0.2 installed successfully.

Finally...... Ubuntu it is....

I have finally decided to try Ubuntu. Thus I removed FC6 and installed Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS. My laptop still has the dual boot option i.e. XP Pro and Ubuntu. But my plan to try and use use Ubuntu all the time... even at office.

I am hoping that this will work well for me.
