Removing Namoroka/Shiretoko from Ubuntu
Every once in a while I get a system update notification in Ubuntu and it (rudely) replaces my generic Firefox installation with the Namoroka/Shiretoko versions packaged with Ubuntu. It seems to work fine, but I prefer having plain old Firefox.
To get Firefox back, do the following:
System >> Administration >> Software Sources >> Other Software: disable or remove: ubuntu-mozilla-daily ppa
At the terminal:
sudo apt-get remove firefox
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.6
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.6
Voila! Good old Firefox classic!
