Ubuntuzilla: Mozilla Software Installer

Suka Download; Ubuntuzilla: Mozilla Software installer

This is the home of the Ubuntuzilla project, hosts an APT repository with .deb repacks of the latest official release versions of Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla SeaMonkey, and Mozilla Thunderbird. This repository should work on any APT-based distribution, including Ubuntu descendants, and Debian descendants. The project was born on Ubuntu forums, but despite the name is not really specific to Ubuntu.

Ubuntuzilla has a support forum on the Ubuntu Forums in the 3rd party projects area, which you are encouraged to use if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions.
The packages contain unmodified official Mozilla release binaries, which fact you are encouraged to verify by comparing the checksums of package contents with checksums of the contents of the official Mozilla tar.bz2 release archives. As a matter of general principle, it is a good practice to perform some verification prior to running anything from any unfamiliar website.

Background

On many Linux distributions it is common to see a delay between a new release of Mozilla software, and the software showing up in the main distribution repositories. Depending on the distro policy, you might only see some security fix backports and not a full new release.
It is frequently desirable to get more timely security updates for Mozilla software, or run the latest version, which may not be available in the repositories, due to the new features and improvements. This is where the Ubuntuzilla repository comes in. This repository tracks official Mozilla releases, and aims to push out the updated packages within a day or two of their release.
Read below for specific instructions for using this repository to install Firefox, SeaMonkey, and Thunderbird.

Installation Ubuntuzilla

Old ubuntuzilla installer script users note: before installing these packages, run "ubuntuzilla.py -a remove -p packagename". Otherwise installation may fail due to the existence of a local diversion of /usr/bin/ links, placed there by the old ubuntuzilla script.
  • It is strongly recommended to make a backup of your Firefox/Thunderbird/Seamonkey user profile, just in case. This is stored in your home directory. Firefox and Seamonkey profiles are stored in the .mozilla directory, Thunderbird profile is stored in .thunderbird or .mozilla-thunderbird directory.
  • Add the ubuntuzilla repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list, either using your favorite editor, or by running the provided one-line command (copy and paste the entire line into a terminal, then press enter).
The repository to add, if you're adding it manually to your sources.list, is

deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main

and you can use the following command to add it to your sources.list in one step:

echo -e "\ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null

If you wish, verify that the repository has been added, by looking at /etc/apt/sources.list in your favorite text editor, or running "tail /etc/apt/sources.list" in the terminal.
  • Then add the package signing key to your keyring, by running the following command:
  • sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29
  • Update your package database:
  • sudo apt-get update
  • Install your desired package, with one of the following commands:
sudo apt-get install firefox-mozilla-build
sudo apt-get install thunderbird-mozilla-build
sudo apt-get install seamonkey-mozilla-build
