How do I install the latest stable version of Firefox?

I've seen Firefox 5 has been released. How can I install it for Ubuntu 11.04 without deleting my current Firefox 4?

According to our own Jorge Castro:

If you're on Ubuntu 11.04 you'll get Firefox 5 as an update within the next 24 hours (no need for PPA or any of that business)

(via https://twitter.com/#!/castrojo/status/83188233969737728)

The alternative would be to add the Mozilla Security PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa

And upgrade your system. But again, it looks like you should not have to do anything.

  • by the way, it makes sense to wait for the real update. This will include things like translations and extensions to their full extend, the security ppa might not – Stefano Palazzo Jun 22 '11 at 04:25

I think you should make a fresh installation and not upgrade it, use the binary source (tar.bz2) don't install using the apt-get or synaptics because sometimes it will replace your previous firefox. check the FTP bellow for the source of Firefox 5.
