I also want to share my steps for installing and upgrading Firefox on Kubuntu 12.04.
First, set up the repo:
(see http://www.bluemintlinux.com/2012/08...n-firefox.html)
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:blue-shell/firefox-kde
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox firefox-kde-support
Then hold firefox upgrades so the customized firefox version with kde support doesn't get overwritten by normal updates.
(see http://serverfault.com/questions/384...wngrade-vsftpd, for example)
echo firefox hold | dpkg –set-selections
echo firefox-kde-supported hold | dpkg --set-selections
This will prevent your customised packages being overwritten as part of the normal update processes. However, even with the hold set, Firefox can now be manually upgraded like this:
sudo apt-get install firefox firefox-kde-support
The following held packages will be changed:
firefox firefox-kde-support
The following packages will be upgraded:
firefox firefox-kde-support
