Firefox and Thunderbird 5, 6, 7 and 8!

If you ever wanted to be up to date with the world’s leading Internet software provider, here are some PPAs you can install:

All of the instructions below are Terminal commands.

1. Firefox
• 5.0 (Stable):
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
• 6.0 (Beta):
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
• 7.0 (Aurora):
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
• 8.0 (Nightly):
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox-trunk
2. Thunderbird
• 5.0 (Stable):
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
• 6.0 (Beta):
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-next
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
• 7.0 (Aurora):
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/thunderbird-aurora
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
• 8.0 (Nightly):
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install thunderbird-trunk

The higher the version, the less it is tested, therefore it is not a good idea to use Nightly or Aurora builds.

If you have any problems with the installation, feel free to leave a comment below.
