Running sudo apt upgrade firefox gives me:

firefox is already the newest version (75.0+build3-0ubuntu1).

While the latest version Firefox 81 has already been released. Has any thing changed about Firefox after version 75 on Ubuntu 20.04?

$ apt policy firefox
firefox:
  Installed: 75.0+build3-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 75.0+build3-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 75.0+build3-0ubuntu1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

please add the output of apt policy firefox to your question – Organic Marble Oct 20 '20 at 09:53
@OrganicMarble updated. – Omid Oct 20 '20 at 09:56
The updates and security repos are not in your sources list, so you are not getting any updates. – Organic Marble Oct 20 '20 at 09:57

@OrganicMarble It's odd. I've added them to sources.list. Now after deleting sources.list then running apt update and re-creating the file, then apt update again, it's solved. – Omid Oct 20 '20 at 10:04
I am not currently in a position to write an answer, but to fix this, you need to return /etc/apt/sources.list to its original configuration. There are many questions on this site about how to do that. – Organic Marble Oct 20 '20 at 10:05
I am glad you got it sorted! – Organic Marble Oct 20 '20 at 10:05
@OrganicMarble Thanks. – Omid Oct 20 '20 at 10:05
