Se non ce la fate piu’ ad aspettare i pacchetti ufficiali aggiornati per Firefox 3 RC1, potete aggiornare il vostro browser preferito con il seguente repository:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/fta/ubuntu hardy main

Aggiungete tale riga al vostro /etc/apt/sources.list e lanciate i seguenti comandi:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

Ovviamente se avete gia’ Firefox3 installato altrimenti:

sudo aptitude install firefox-3.0

Companies are funny. Most of them think that there is only on type of Linux package, and for some reason that tends to be .rpm. Now .rpm are fine if you run OpenSUSE, Fedora, etc. But this is the Ubuntu Help Blog, Ubuntu is based on Debian and Debian uses .deb packages. So what can we do we use alien. Now this will look kinda scary at the begining because this is a command line tool, but I promise this is easy.

Step 1:
First you will have to apt-get alien

and type "y" you need those packages

I’ve built Ubuntu Dapper Epiphany 1.9 and Firefox 1.4.99 packages for Ubuntu Breezy. I’ve also enabled the Epiphany Adblock extension which seems to work fine. You can’t specify your own advert signatures with a GUI yet (afaikt) but the built-in database seems to cover most bases.

I’ve only built for i386 as that’s all I need it for right now. Tbh, it’s really not that difficult to build you own, but here they are anyway:
UPDATE: I’ve setup an apt repository for all this nonsense.

I don’t really have plans to keep this up to date, but I might expand it to a few other packages I want to play with, so feel free to use.
