I'm currently using Ubuntu and Ubuntu's Firefox gets updated from Canonical. How can I change this? I mean I want to get updates from Mozilla and not from Canonical

Install the official version of Firefox which you can download from Mozilla.

If you want to do automatic updates, then do this:

  1. Go to the Firefox menu
  2. Go to options
  3. A dialog box will come up, go to the advanced tab
  4. Go to automatically check for updates.

If you want to update it yourself, then when you want to update:

  1. Go to the Firefox menu
  2. Go the the help menu
  3. Then go to about Firefox, and then check for updates.

^ that is disabled in the Ubuntu Firefox version. Ubuntu Firefox gets updated from Canonical, not from Mozilla.

Thank you for that. I wasn't sure what Ubuntu was, I thought it was similar to the regular Firefox.

I've installed it from Software Center.

I'm trying another distro (elementaryOS) and i'm trying to install a clean version of Firefox. Since i'm still a noob in the Linux Command terminal thing i've followed this tut here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Installing+Firefox+on+Linux

And this is what I got :/

elementary@elementary:~$ cd ~ elementary@elementary:~$ tar xjf firefox-*.tar.bz2 elementary@elementary:~$ cd ~/firefox/firefox bash: cd: /home/elementary/firefox/firefox: Not a directory elementary@elementary:~$ cd ~/firefox/ elementary@elementary:~/firefox$ firefox The program 'firefox' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install firefox elementary@elementary:~/firefox$
