Not sure if this is the best way to do it, but it accomplished it for me. open a terminal and type the following commands cd /usr/bin ls -l firefox you should see that the firefox file is a link to firefox-3.0 then type sudo rm firefox sudo ln -s firefox-3.5 firefox That will update it so that menu entries will run firefox 3.5 and it should run by default. However if there are any extensions you rely on, until they have been updated to work with firefox3.5 you won't be able to use them. As I said earlier my bookmarks followed me, so I'm not sure why yours didn't. I did some checking, and this worked on my machine. Quit all firefox's before starting. In your home directory there is a folder called .mozilla (In the file manager this can be shown by pressing Ctrl-H). In this directory there should be a "firefox" and "firefox-3.5" directory. Rename "firefox-3.5" to "firefox-3.5.old", and make a copy of the "firefox" directory, and rename the copy to "firefox-3.5". In commands: cd ~/.mozilla mv firefox-3.5 firefox-3.5.old cp -r firefox firefox-3.5 Then run Firefox, and hopefully all should be well, with all your bookmarks intact. Dan ps. Do you not sleep? I'm currently in Canada visiting my parents which is why I'm up at this ungodly hour -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
