You can go to this page http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/firefox download
and use the script to download the newest Firefox for Ubuntu Breezy. I used
it and it works quite well. It will install the new version for you without
a bunch of hassles. It basically just does all the steps listed in the Wiki.

Theses are more FF questions than Linux ones (unless the behaviors are
Linux-specific), but here goes:

How do I stop the temporary popup images (such as on
http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_schedule/index.jhtml)? Gotta have JS for
that page's functionality. :-( Looks like I screwed up testing it, though --
I removed some ad-related cookies but not other, and now the script is
wedged. Lousy error handling. But I digress.

Also, exiting from X doesn't seem to trigger FF's "only keep cookies during
this session" semi-automatic cookie removal. Is there a way to remove
cookies older than X days that I can run as desired?

Also, http://dsc.discovery.com/schedule/schedule.jsp?channel=DSC spawns a
popup (when I forget and have JS on, and yes, I have [X] Block Popup
Windows, and no no variant of that site is listed in "Allowed Sites", and
no, I don't have Flash. What's the deal?

Since my computer runs Ubuntu, this is version 1.0. (Is there an upgrade
that doesn't involve too much mucking about in the OS innards?)
