    How did you install it? Did you use this guide?
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion

    Did you already have 1.0.7 installed through Adept / apt-get?
    Do you know about file associations in Konqueror?

      ya i installed it using the guide and as it says i did the following

      sriram@Home:~$ sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/firefox
      Password:
      Leaving `local diversion of /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu'
      sriram@Home:~$ sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
      ln: `/usr/bin/firefox': File exists
      sriram@Home:~$

      but still when i open a link from messenger the link opens in konqueror and not in firefox
