Upgrade Mozilla Firefox

[KaYaN]

I just found that firefox has update to 3.6.6. Now I'm using 3.6.4.
Is it possible to upgrade automatically? I don't want to install it manual..
While I upgrade automatic via help-->check for update..It was say this :


But I'm the admin of this Linux OS..Here :


I'm really lack of knowledge about this..
Any suggestion?

Update you system through Update Manager. It'll update even Firefox packages. Or perhaps they haven't released a 3.6.6 version for Linux yet.

I update it though Update Manager and it show nothing to update for mozilla..
And than I added some repository and run the Update Manager, it;s update the package.. ^_^
Now my FF update to 3.6.6

Thanks Alboguy

You can do one of two things in the future: check for a new repo and add it in to update, or run it as ROOT for a few moments.

You might be administrator, but you're not ROOT.

By the looks of it, you're using Ubuntu, so in which case, it's 'sudo firefox' in terminal. In ROOT/User based distros that don't use sudo, it's 'su' to because superuser, and 'firefox' once you're ROOT.

Is there any way to change from administrator to ROOT..?
Because some of my folder it's lock and some command are "permission is denied". Is it happen because I'm not a ROOT?
Here the example of the locked folder :



"You are not the owner, so you cannot change this permission" --> What does it mean?In fact I'm the admin..

Like I said, admin is not ROOT.

Root means you can do anything, you can delete anything, you can make anything, you can modify anything. And because Linux loves being secure.... no, there is no way of legally becoming root. You can enable root permissions, like I said, though sudo and su, but I wouldn't recommend using Root as a day-to-day account... it's like using Windows 98. Sure you're the master of your system, you can change anything... but one wrong move and that sucker's coming down fast.

Ok hell..I'm quite understand the different now
As Linux loves secure....so do I

Thanks a lot for your explanation hell..

[hellnoire]

Well... you can become root in Ubuntu, despite what I say... but I'm trying to discourage you, because unless you know what you're doing at all times, you risk messing up a lot of your computer.

Hey, I knew there was a reason Windows 98 was my most favorite OS of all time! Linux carries security to extreme and I feel its one of its biggest drawbacks. I don't want to be protected from myself.
