I have Ubuntu 14.04
I was on firefox 39 and wanted the latest 53. I uninstalled 39 and tried to install the latest from tarball download.
I couldn't be bothered with all the simlinks and terminal stuff so I looked to reinstall from the repository but it only gave me firefox 28.
Why only firefox 28?
What's the most up-to-date firefox I can install from repository?
sudo apt-get update
before you try to install? (or since you've already installed the package now,sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
)?sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -f
? Thanks.-f
? I looked at help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto and only sawapt-get -f install
. Evenman apt-get
limits-f
to "This option, when used with install/remove"firefox_28.0+build2-0ubuntu2_i386
so I'm assuming that that is the version 14.04 initially offered. In a properly functioning system, you should have the latest, which is v53, as others have pointed out.-f
in case there's a package management issue that blocks all package upgrades. Your quote doesn't restricts it to the "install" and "remove" commands; it describes a special behaviour for these commands.
