I'm new to ubuntu. I need help to upgrade to firefox 4. Can u help?

I hit download firefox then it asks to open with archive manager? Should I save, instead? New or upgraded firefox never gets installed. I'm still used to the windows installation method. Please help!!

Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
To install new versions of software, go to Synaptic Package Manager in System->Administration. Search there for "Firefox", and install it.
What you are downloading and opening with archive manager, is a tar-ball archive of Firefox. Installing it is more complicated process than through the Synaptic, so as a new user you are recommended to use Synaptic.

  • Every time I click on a link, an OLD version of Firefox keeps opening, I don't know how to eliminate the old version (I don't see it in the applications folder). This hasn't happened with any other upgrades to Firefox. Can you help?

    This happens when I get an email with a link attached. Also, every single time I open up the NEW version, it defaults to the "welcome to Firefox 4" page. Is there a way to make it stop doing that too? Did I just download the new version too soon, before the bugs were worked out?

    Version 3.6.16 is opening....as it did when I clicked the link in your email message to me about this situation. The upgraded version (Firefox4) sits in my dock and the old version opens when I click on a link.

  • I need some parts for my MuVo V100, can anyone help?

    I need some parts for my MuVo V00, can anyone help I couldn't find any thread this would belong in, but if I've made a mistake, I'm sorry.
    I have a Creative Labs MuVo V00 2 gig player. I love it. The only problem is that the back peice of plastic that holds the battery in somehow has fallen off and has disappeared. I really, really, would like to replace it, but I can't find anywhere where parts like this are sold.
    So, does anyone know where I can buy this part Or does anyone have one they are willing to sell me If I have to get the whole little "docking bay" that holds the batery and the unit, that would be fine too. I'm not going to pay huge money for it, seeing that I can still get a new one at a few places, but if anyone has one that broke, or that they just aren't using, and wouldn't mind making a few bucks + postage, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks for your time.

    Re: I need some parts for my MuVo V00, can anyone help As far as I'm concerned the subject is closed. I was just irritated that I asked for help, and got some glib little reply, telling me something that anyone who's been on the internet for more than ten seconds should know about. Because to be honest, him replying with those three words, might have made someone overlook the post, thinking, "Someone is handling that, let's move on." Someone who actually might have what I needed.
    But, as it turns out, I could order a reconditioned MuVo from Creative directly for about 6 bucks. (vs. 45+ if I'd gone through ebay) so the problem is resolved. If I could figure out a way to erase this entire post, I would do it. If you can do so, being a mod, I would appreciate it.
    Sorry if I upset you Loi-CL, I understand you're a moderator, but I don't take kindly to being treated like I'm stupid and that's exactly what coachop94 was doing. If he didn't have anything important or useful to tell me, he could have just skipped over my post.

    Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
    Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.

    I need an offline install for firefox v26, can you please advise where I can get this?

    Hi haydenr,
    It's best to use the latest version of Firefox if you can, but you can download Firefox 26 here:
    http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/26.0/android/
    Just choose your locale (British English is en-GB, American English is en-US, etc) and then click the link for the apk file. :)
    Hope that answers your question!

  • Verizon, Does YOUR equipment need service and upgrade? Not OURS? Please Help

         Hello,
    I used to have a pretty stable dial-up, then DSL, then DSL enhanced connection. But late this summer, my service has gotten horrible. In the evenings, I can get disconnected every 1 to 2 minutes or even get disconnected when I am trying to reconnect from the last disconnect.
    I have a new modem/router from Verizon and have gone through all the standard troubleshooting suggestions given on this site.
    I then began sifting through these forums and then posting about my difficulties.
    Through the last several months it seems as though more people are complaining about the frequent internet slowdowns and disconnects. We've all been walked through the same steps.
    Finally we are being told that these problems are happening during "high-traffic" times on the internet and nothing else is said.
    I recently saw a post where a customer said they were told by a Verizon service technician that the problems are because Verizon's hardware needs to be upgraded to handle the larger amount of internet traffic.
    I have rebooted and reset my modem many times. I've restarted my computer, run cleaning programs, cleared the DNS folder, and defragged. I've even changed the phone and Ethernet cables.
    Verizon,
    Will you please work on solutions on your end instead of saying everything is on OUR end?
    Thank you

  • Need help, I am terrible with Java, can someone help.

    Please can someone help me with this program. I am in a JAVA programming class and I am having a heck of a time. I am still having a problem with the basic concepts of JAVA but the teacher continues to give us difficult assignments with out any help. Here is the assignment:
    Write a class named 'Player' that has two attributes, 'name' (which has to be a 'Sting') and 'rating' (which has to be a 'int'). Then write an application class named "PlayerRating" that first creates an array consisting of 5 player objects, then display the list three times; first unsorted, then sorted by Name and finally sorted by rating.
    Must use the Bubble Sort Program and do NOT use Array.sort.
    Example output:
    Unsorted
    Name: Rating:
    Mickey Mantle 5
    Ty Cobb 3
    Babe Ruth 4
    Pete Rose 3
    Sammy Sosa 1
    Sorted by Name
    Name: Rating:
    Babe Ruth 4
    Mickey Mantle 5
    Pete Rose 3
    Sammy Sosa 1
    Ty Cobb 3
    Sorted by Rating
    Name: Rating:
    Sammy Sosa 1
    Pete Rose 3
    Ty Cobb 3
    Babe Ruth 4
    Mickey Mantle 5

    14 // String[][] s = new String[100][100]; //Default values: null
    15 boolean [] b = new boolean[4]; //default values: false
    16 int[][] i = new int[10][10]; //default values: 0
    17
    18
    19 PlayerRating arr; //reference to array
    20 //arr = new PlayerRating(maxSize);

    public class PlayerRating
    public void PlayerRating (int Max)
    int[][] i = new int[10][10];
    Please help I am totally lost.

    You repeat code, you should do a generic bubble sort with comparators, or declare class as Comparable. You can see how String class is Comparable, furthermore it has a final static Comparator for CASE_INTENSENSITIVE_ORDER.
    class User implements Comparable<User>{
      public static final java.util.Comparator<Cliente> RATING_COMPARATION=new java.util.Comparator<Cliente>(){
        public int compare(User u1,User u2){
               int comp=u1.rating-u2.rating;
               return comp==0?u1.name.compareTo(u2.name):comp;
         private String name;
         private int rating;
         public User(String name, int rating){
              setName(name);
              setRating(rating);
         public String getName(){
              return name;
         public void setName(String name){
              this.name = name;
         public int getRating(){
              return rating;
         public void setRating(int rating){
              this.rating = rating;
            // Compare users first by name and last by rating;
            public int compareTo(User anotherUser){
               int comp=name.compareTo(anotherUser.name);
               return comp==0?rating-anotherUser.rating:comp;
             public void equals(Object o){
              if(this==o)
                return true;
              if(o instanceof User){}
                 User anotherUser=(User)o;
                 return name.equals(anotherUser.name)&&rating==anotherUser.rating;
              return false;
               public int hashCode(){
                  return name.hashCode()+rating<<16;
    public class Sorting{
         public <E extends Comparable<E>>static void bubleSort(E[] arr){
              for(int i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++){
                   for(int j = arr.length - 1; j > i; j--){
                        if(arr[j].compareTo(arr[j - 1])<0)
                                     swap(arr,j,j-1);
         public static<E> void bubleSort(E[] arr,Comparator<E> cmp){
              for(int i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++){
                   for(int j = arr.length - 1; j > i; j--){
                        if(cmp.compare(arr[j],arr[j-1]) < 0)
                                      swap(arr,j,j-1);
            private static void swap(Object[] arr,int x,int y){
               Object tmp=arr[x];
               arr[x]=arr[y];
               arr[y]=tmp;
         public static void main(String[] args){
              User[] arr = new User[5];
              arr[0] = new User("Mickey Mantle", 5);
              arr[1] = new User("Ty Cobb", 3);
              arr[2] = new User("Babe Ruth", 4);
              arr[3] = new User("Pete Rose", 3);
              arr[4] = new User("Sammy Sosa", 1);
              System.out.println("Sorting by Name : ");
              bubleSort(arr)
              System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));
              System.out.println("Sorting by Rating : ");
              bubleSort(arr,User.RATING_COMPARATION);
              System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));
    }
