When will Firefox 3.5 be added to Hardy repositories?
I am relatively new to Linux, but quite experienced with DOS and Windows. I'm comfortable editing things like fstab, etc., but I need specific instructions of what files to edit and what to add.<br /><br />My system is Kubuntu 10.10, using KDE 4.5.1.Tags: None

It won't. But, read this How to Easily Upgrade your Firefox to 3.5 (and future version) in Ubuntu to do it yourself. Read it completely, including the posted comments. There are several ways to do it, and you have to decide which one you want to use.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

What is Ubuntu?
Ubuntu is designed with security in mind. You get free security updates for at least 18 months on the desktop and server. With the Long Term Support (LTS) version you get three years support on the desktop, and five years on the server.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

It would be my guess, that if a security issue required a particular package or packages to be upgraded to satisfy the issue, then the package would be included in the security update, but not otherwise.Windows no longer obstructs my view.
