I have tried 98 per cent of Ubuntu's servers. I have also tried with ethernet and wifi. I have tried to just download not install the package. I have tried every possibility for over 4 weeks.
The result? Failure. Failure on ethernet. Failure on wifi. Failure on 98 per cent of the world's repositories. In fact I have given up on Firefox. I have downloaded and installed files much larger than Firefox - but Firefox always fails. I apply all other security fixes - but not Firefox. As there is no fix to this problem - I will wait till I get back to the UK in about a couple of months. Thanks for all your replies David -- “See the sanity of the man!
