Hi David,
Your initial e-mail was a bit unclear whether you were using the
official repos or not, but this e-mail explains it very clearly.
It may very well be that your ISP is having some troubles.  You might
check with them to see if you can get the issue resolved.
You can also manually download it if you need.
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/
(bottom of the page)
something like
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_42.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
