This is for linux users only. When it comes to upgrade the firefox from lower version to upper version I could not find the standard way to do it. This is what I did.

This is for linux users only.

Go to firefox site to see the latest updates. e.g.

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

download firefox.xx.tar.gz

untar and unzip the file:

tar xvfz firefox.xx.tar.gz

You will see a firefox directory in it.

On your terminal type:

whereis firefox


it will give - /usr/bin/firefox and /usr/lib/firefox

Go to /usr/lib (cd /usr/lib)

You will see the firefox directory there. Replace this firefox directory with what you have got from download.

Restart firefox.

Latest version is installed. Enjoy.
