Ubuntuzilla is an APT repository that includes the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Mozilla Seamonkey. This repository will be applicable to Ubuntu and all Debian derivative releases. Ubuntuzilla has a support forum in the third-party project area of the Ubuntu Forum. Therefore, if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, you can use it for feedback.
Why use Ubuntuzilla?
The answer is simple. For a specific version of Ubuntu release, the official repository contains the latest version of the software package for this version of Ubuntu release date. After the release, the updated software package is not added to the repository unless it is a security vulnerability fix. Users who use Ubuntuzilla can obtain the software and update it in a timely manner. The software has not been added to the official Ubuntu/Debian repository. Does it sound good? Well, that's it.
Add Ubuntuzilla Repository
It is not difficult to add Ubuntuzilla, but if you are using the old version of ubuntuzilla script, you should delete it first. Otherwise, because you already have a symbolic link under/usr/bin, after installation, the old version of the script will still be used.
Run the following command to remove the Ubuntuzilla script of the old version:
$ Sudo ubuntuzilla. py-a remove-p <package-name>
First, we strongly recommend that you back up your personal Firefox/Thunderbird/Seamonkey files. It is stored in your home directory. Firefox and Seamonkey files are stored in the. mozilla directory. The personal files of Thunderbird are stored in the. thunderbird or. mozilla-thunderbird directory.
Use any editor to open the/etc/apt/sources. list file.
$ Sudo nano/etc/apt/sources. list
Add the following line in it:
Deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main
Save and exit the file.
Use the following command to add the following software package signature public key to the apt keyring:
$ Sudo apt-key adv -- recv-keys -- keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29
Run the following command to update the source file table:
$ Sudo apt-get update
Now you can install the Mozilla software from Ubuntuzilla.
Install Mozilla Firefox:
$ Sudo apt-get install firefox-mozilla-build
Install Mozilla Thunderbird:
$ Sudo apt-get install thunderbird-mozilla-build
Install Mozilla Seamonkey:
$ Sudo apt-get install seamonkey-mozilla-build
These commands can remove software packages:
$ Sudo apt-get remove firefox-mozilla-build
$ Sudo apt-get remove thunderbird-mozilla-build
$ Sudo apt-get remove seamonkey-mozilla-build
I found it useful to those who want the latest version of Mozilla. Pleasant use!
