Mozilla team made Firefox 4 available to Ubuntu community for testing.
- Lucid 10.10 or later: Add ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable to your system's Software Sources.
- Karmic 9.10: Firefox 3.6 is the latest version available; there is no Firefox 4. To get latest version of Firefox 3.6, add ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable to your system's Software Sources.
- Install the package for the new version of Firefox (e.g. package name is firefox)
