You have to add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main Then do the following: # apt-get update # apt-get install mozilla-firefox > I have heard of www.backports.org .

Backports uses the source packages from testing and backports or compiles it for the latest stable. It looks like they have firefox 1.5 available - http://www.backports.org/debian/pool/main/f/firefox/ > Will upgrading to Sid help ? I would strongly advice against going with sid/unstable unless you are comfortable with things breaking unexpectedly. Thaths -- "Facts are meaningless.
