    Firefox 3.0 or Shiretoko?? [solved]

    7 y/o comp with a 3 ghz intel processor, 1 gb ram and the latest 32 bit kubuntu (with the latest KDE version)
    here's a weird thing, for a week after the launch of Firefox 3.5 i've been trying to look for it in the normal repos that come with Kubuntu but to no avail, all that i could find was the latest 3.0 version. so, as a last resort, i added the mozilla repo but after i installed the new firefox something weird happened: the comp still kept the firefox 3.0 and now had a new one: shiretoko (firefox 3.5 but why is it called that and why with the blue icon??). if i remove 3.0 it also removes 3.5 and if i try to install ONLY 3.5 it installs also 3.0 (again, i get the 2 browsers, the old firefox and the shiretoko).
    so, what's up with that? why can't i get the NORMAL firefox??

    You can get the ordinary Firefox 3.5 by using the script called Ubuntuzilla for here: http://ubuntuzilla.wiki.sourceforge.net/

    Page down to "Installation". I have a 32 bit machine so the operations are - download the .deb, right click it and install, then run the command (in a Terminal):
    ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox
    and answer the questions...

      Firefox 3.5 is a lot faster and snappier.
